market research for budgeting a documentary

Staff required for documentary:

Above the actual budget, it is common practice to list some basic assumptions about the project. The sample budget shows that the project will be shot on DV, the plan calls for two months of research, 35 shooting days will be spread across 12 weeks, etc.

The sample budget includes a number of line items where no money is being spent. Normally, these "empty" or "zero amount accounts" would not be shown. But they are included here to make the sample budget more useful as a template, so that you don't forget anything when you begin making your own budget.

Now, let's examine the budget section by section:

1000 Research--This section includes money for the books, videos, meetings and other expenses required to research the project.

2000 Directors, Producers, Writers--These fees vary widely but should be reasonable for each person's experience level, production locale and overall budget level. Since many projects arise from a director's passion, some directors accept a lower fee in order to get more "money on the screen." In this sample budget, a single filmmaker is serving as director/producer and plans to spend about a year on this project. On union projects, be sure you understand the terms of any applicable guild agreements.

3000 Story & Other Rights--If your project is based on a book, an article, a song or other copyrighted material, you may have to pay for the rights to make a documentary based on that material. Consult an attorney.

3100 Archival Photographs & Stills--Research the sources for any still photographs that you plan to use. Will you need to hire a researcher? How much will it cost to get preview copies of photos and license the images that you select?

3200 Stock Footage & Film Clips--As in section 3100, you must think through the costs of both researching and licensing material. The devil is in the details, and you'll need to carefully understand the pricing for each clip. For example, some archives charge a 30-second minimum, no matter the length of the clip that you use, and you must budget accordingly.

3300 Talent--If you are planning to do re-enactments with actors or hire a narrator, you'll need to list them here. Depending on how well-known an actor is, rates can vary considerably. If you are working with union performers, be sure to follow the agreement that governs your project. And be especially cautious if you're preparing a project that includes shooting in a theater, concert hall or sports arena that falls under union jurisdiction. Thoroughly understand all such constraints before you begin to budget.

3400 Music--Music rights can become both complicated and expensive. To control these costs in the sample budget, it is assumed that all of the music will be written specifically for the project by a composer. Many projects, however, must budget for licensing additional music rights and may hire a music supervisor to manage all issues relating to music.

Surveys i created on surveymonkey.com  and i have screenshotted the results between the two questionaries

These two screenshots are of my questionnaire of my child neglect survey.

And in these screenshots are my surveys i created to get information and research about alcoholism
which was another idea of mine for scriptwriting.

Image Capture Task Research

Scanners:

There is various types of scanners, such as flatbed scanners, business card scanners, scanners with document feeders, and portable scanners.

Flatbed scanners

They do the job of scanning bigger images. They usually are a lot bigger but have a printer attached onto it; this is for things with a big image or even A3 sized papers and legal documents. With the closer you put the image to the paten glass, the better the resolution will be for the image to be used for inserting pictures into your website.


Business card scanners

Business cards are useful in numerous ways for people to get in contact with your person. If you scan your business card into a picture document then put it on your website, people can freely print off your card incase they need to contact you. It also makes your website look just that bit more professional. This scanner concentrates on smaller items to scan hint with the name "business card scanner."


scanners with document feeders

If you are a professional website with a company, then you might get faxed pieces of work that has been typed up. For which could be needed to be put on your website, so with this scanner you can feed the document to the scanner which will create and image file of which then you can apply to the website of yours. The resolution average is 300 dpi which is a basic resolution so it will collect a average image quality.


Portable scanners

Portable scanners are useful for whilst you are on the move which saves the image you have scanned to an internal/external hard drive to later take off the data and move it onto your computer. The resolution is not as strong due to it being smaller and moveable without a stable power bank and the chance of movement. But never the less, a useful tool for any publishment.



Digital Cameras:

There is numerous types of cameras such as DSLR, SLR, Bridge, compact digitals, compact system digital.

DSLR


DSLR stands for digital single lens reflex, they have a high megapixel count on average. This means it has a higher resolution. A megapixel is one million pixels per inch. A camera i was looking at for research is giving me a baseline for what i was looking for.

Bridge

Bridge cameras are a compact, more affordable versions of a DSLR camera. There is two differences between DSLR and bridge cameras, these are things such as; the bridge camera has smaller sensors (or mirrorless camera) so the quality for pictures will not be as good in a bridge camera. Then the other downfall of a bridge camera is the lens is not removable. This is a problem because it really does limit what you can do with a bridge camera, you will have to buy adapters and lenses which do not fit on correctly.

Treatment

Treatment:

Genre: Drama

My script will be about abandonment issues. It starts off as a child (girl) being born in a hospital based in the modern day. From a family who are alcoholics and drug abusers, the parents have no money for clothes, the correct food etc. But at the same time in a different part of the country there is a child (boy) born with a family with a lot of money.

The thing is even if you are from a wealthy background negligence can still happen, like this boys parents are always working, leave him at all the school clubs and picking him up from babysitters at night. It starts from the beginning until the end.               

Characters:

Girl: The girl is known as Jodie. She is a shy and timid person throughout her life. She is a short, Brunette girl.

Boy: The boy is known as Freddie. He is outgoing but very naïve and obnoxious, he is a tall blonde boy.

Target Audience:

I think it would be suitable for teenagers towards adults (14-40) because it would be unsuitable for a younger audience due to the graphic images.

Greyscale:

Greyscale is the value of each pixel in a single sample. It is where you choose the integrity between white and black in each pixel with grey being the central shade.

RGB:

An RGB colour space is any colour made between the three primary colours red, yellow, and blue. It is the triangle defined by those three primary colours.

YUV:

Luminance and chrominance (luminance being light and chrominance being colour) is the difference between brightness and colour. It started off as a encoded format which was often in digital video to give colours rather than just black and white.

HSV:

Hue, saturation and value are all different colour formats. Hsv itself is a colour model which describes colours. (Hue)
