STUDIO PRODUCTION: BUDGET ORGANISATION

Since I've been working through getting the Presenters and working through what we need for each section, I helped Jemma to put together a Budget estimation. Since Creative Skill set states one of the roles of a Director as "have budgeting and financial skills" and since I'm aware of what we will need in the show it made sense.

Expenses:
This is what we HAVE to pay towards without question. Since we can't afford to pay our Presenters or our contributors then we will need to pay their travel and food. Alfie may be  driving to the locations from London but this hasn't been confirmed yet so we're estimating with train costs, Adeline is from Maidstone so we can arrange for one of our crew to pick her up.
We will require them for:
- 4 x Rehearsals
- 1 x Transmutation
- 1 x Promo Shoot day
- 1 x VT Shoot Day plus £30 for presenter challenge (changed from £60 to make it a harder challenge)  

A train from London Victoria to Maidstone East is £24.90. With all 7 days we require that's £373.50 for Alfie's travel. The models for Steals of the Season haven't been confirmed yet but we can assume that they will be coming from London as well.

We have agreed to allocate £8 per person for food for each day they are needed.

Our Drag Queen (2 applications have come through) are both coming from near London and would drive to the show. Jemma worked out that we would need them for 2 rehearsals and 1 Transmutation and that their travel would cost £60 per day so £180 for all 3 days.

Props and Outfits:
Since the show is going to be a Fashion Show, we know we will need to purchase the outfits, whether or not we will be able to return them is unsure yet so we will have to assume that we won't be able to. Katie Joslin did the research and write up for the Steal of the Seasons sections so that we could put together a budget estimation:



As well as this, We believe that we may have to buy a mannequin for the Presenter Challenge reveal as we are thinking of having the bought outfit on that rather than having the presenter wear it.

This, of course, was just an estimate, once we get the budget in then Jemma will take over managing the budget as Production Manager and aim to save where it is possible. Currently to cover these costs we have agreed on £30 per student for the show.
