BUDGET DETAILS
One of my goals for this film is to keep it cheap. My target was around $100.
Here's what I've bought so far:
wallpaper $25
answering machine $ 5
fake blood $ 5
custom belt buckle $12
music library $110
makeup $15
TOTAL $172
PRODUCTION NOTES
9/29
Got a lot done in the last two days. Now I might actually finish this thing by the deadline.
I still needed to cast and record some voice-overs for some answering machine messages. I went to the local community college to hit up the fundamentals of acting class for some actors. I was a bit weary of the fundamentals class, so I went in with my fingers crossed. I lucked out when I got there because rehearsals for a play were letting out. I was able to round up a group of experienced actors and record some voice-overs on the spot.
I also shot the final scene - which went very smoothly. It was a little tough because I had to shoot in a tiny bathroom, but I'm super happy with the footage.
9/28
I borrowed all the lights for the project, so that helped save a bunch of money. Buying the music library put me over budget, but I figured it was worth it because I found the PERFECT song for this film - I feel like it adds so much. I also got a bunch of other songs which might come in handy for some other projects.
I've still got another scene to shoot, but I think I already have everything I need for it.
