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.
