A line-item budget for the film #25

A budget in which the individual financial statement items are grouped by cost centers or departments. It shows the comparison between the financial data for the past accounting or budgeting periods and estimated figures for the current or a future period.

Films rarely have one budget. There’s the 35 mm film budget, the shooting on location in Paris and London budget, the DSLR camera budget, the budget with name actors, the budget with unknown actors, etc. Each of these budgets represents an alternate production scenario based on unfolding events and access to money and resources. Once you write out your initial budget, you should then save alternate versions with different sets of line items based on all the likely scenarios. The only thing these budgets need to have in common is the grand total. Making alternate budgets further forces you to consider the true production value of each resource. They are also invaluable to your decision making if you do suddenly have to change your production plan.
