Budget cannot stop you making a film

Budget cannot stop you making a film


Making a film with and without a budget, both are possible in their own ways. In fact there is a term known as ‘No Budget Film’. Currently I am studying in a film school, and we make short films without having the budget, but make use of locations with the help of our team mates.  The Non budget films uses very less or no money at all. It also uses a less member of crew, and it is a non-profitable as well. In these kind of films the ‘Distribution’ (Marketing) stage is used the minimum.  But now a days there are possibilities for the Marketing to be done online with the help of social networking websites. Even it will help you reach a mass number of audience through the specific website. In the old era people usually used to make Non Budget films due to having less amount of money.. In today’s world it is rare but not erased.  Budget film will help you grab a large amount of crew with equipment's you will wish to use in your film. It also helps your film to be distributed in every possible way under your budget. Even it helps you to use each and every stage of film making. Considering the ‘No budget film’ in this, the equipment's will either be of your team mates, or managed somehow. For example if you are using very less money then it will  be taken on rent as well. The stages of making a film can be possible but usually with the director doing it alone himself/herself. The film to succeed can be by making the story of the film interesting, and even reaching the audience with using less or no budget at all. There is also a term such as ‘Low budget films’. This is somewhere similar to the ‘No budget films’ but there is very less amount of money used to produce the film. This usually is made by the fresh or new film makers who try to prove their talent as well to enter the industry. These films are also made by ‘Independent film makers’.  Now if you wonder about the cast and crew, there are many people out there who will also be keen to work, as not everyone can get a opportunity. Making a film with or without a budget, try to make it the best so that you can reach the platform which you have dreamed to achieve, and make your film the best as well. But as a film maker you have to be very witty, and be able to manage the way you can make the film. Hence, budget cannot stop you making a film.
