Research for funding in England

Information in film-making & funding

Commonly, horror films are relatively low budget compared to other film genres such as action-adventure films, this is likely to be because often horror story lines try to appear as real to life as possible and as if they events actually happened, so highly technical equipment such as CGI are sometimes not needed. This applies to my own production.

I found several informative website explaining guidelines towards gaining funding with companies.  http://filmlondon.org.uk/funding_and_talent

Funding would enable a company or team to produce, distribute  market and exhibit films. Here is an example of a industry's logo, which would typically be featured at the start of a film opening. This is to show that this company was involved in the production of the film. I will put this logo in at the start of my production, which shows that a professional company is involved with the distribution.

Real Life Example:

This is a British film which had an estimated budget of £500,000. 

The cost of the actors being in my production was nothing, they were colleagues of my mum and volunteered to be in it, however if I were to really make this film, given funding and a budget, obviously there is a more likely chance that the actors would be paid for their time.
