Budget of Short Films

Budget of a Typical Short Film

Short films will vary in budget. This depends on things such as cast, crew members, props, and equipment.

As shown in the image above, in GBP, a minute of short film can vary from around £362 all the way to £725 per minute of film. However, some short films have limited crew members to take on several roles to reduce cost. Some producers may create their own soundtrack and music whilst others may have to pay for a licence for copyrighted music. Furthermore, the use of special effects will add to the cost. All of these factors will affect the budget.
