Creating a Music Video Budget


When it comes to creating a Music video budget it is important to make sure that you factor everything you need in. The things that you will need to calculate in the budget are crew and equipment rental. You will also need to calculate how many days the music video is going to last. It is important to write everything you need down first and then start coming up with the numbers of how much you are going to need. Another thing you would need to take in affect is if you are going to fund the whole thing or if you will get an investor to fund the project.

The first then you will need to figure out in your budget is how many days you are going to shoot the music video and the amount and what equipment you are going to need for the video shoot. Once you find all the information out, you would need to start looking out companies and places to rent the equipment and how much they are renting the equipment for. Do not always go with the first company you see to rent equipment from. Always have different back up companies because you never know if you can get the equipment for cheaper at a different company. After you have come up with prices and the total cost that is when you would add everything up and times it for how many days you will shoot for.

The second thing you will need to figure out is the crew members you will need and how much you are going to pay them for they days that you are shooting the video. After you have figured the amount of crew members that you will need, you will calculate everything up and times it for how many days that you will shoot the music video as well. After you have all the numbers for the equipment and crew that is when you will add everything up and get the total numbers for your budget.
