Day Seven:  Spare day in case of bad weather or misadventure, with further shooting if necessary.  Pack up.

* These are expected costs, without local costs and PER DIEM.

LOCAL COSTS:  (A per week cost)

PER DIEM. This covers all the many small “out of pocket” costs: some local meals; cab fares when needed; phone calls; gratuities/presents for actors and production crew.   

There are likely to be local costs, security people, local cameramen, recording studios and hire of additional equipment, etc. In poor areas when we are filming, we may need an armed escort to ensure the well-being of crew and equipment.  

FILM STOCK COSTS:  (A per week cost)

Allow $48,000 per 3.5 days shooting, considered to be a weekly cost.

N.B. Marscom production crews have been producing film and TV productions for over ten years. We are very economic in our costs and the above is a realistic, a “most probable case scenario”.  

ACTORS COSTS:  (As advised)

LEGAL FEES:  (As quoted)

ACCOUNTANCY FEES:  (As quoted)

CONTINGENCY FUND:  

Through experience, there are more often than not, unforeseen factors resulting in unanticipated supplementary costs. It is wise to allocate 10% o the total expected costs, prior to post-production for such eventualities. i.e. 10% of $137,500  say $14,000

POST- PRODUCTION / MARKETING:  (As per budget specified)

$575,000
