Materials- Self generated Materials, Archive Material, Library Materials, Internet and Property Rights

Materials in film production refers to any artifacts used in the production itself. This includes archive footage you have created as well as footage that has been archived. For example, sound clips for everyday sounds.

Self-generated materials
- This means that anything you have created for the production this can include your own sound and video creations.
- The impact of constructing props in-house for the production compant is that it costs money to make them. This is effective because you can save time and money by exporting it from a prop house.
:
Archive Material
- This is old footage used in previous film productions. This is often used by documentary makers so they can use real footage and it is therefore authentic.
- An example is the recent archive footage film Senna, this uses footage from the time leading up to his death.
Examples:
- Paranormal Activity: the footage was used to scare people this was really effective because it made the audience believe that the haunting was real.

Library Materials
- This refers to material stored in libraries which is either sound or video effects.
- Sound Library: When the film is finished then sound will be stored in a library to use for a later production or can be sold to other productions. A large production company has a huge library that has been built up for many years and the sounds can be reused or tweaked.
- Video Library: Production companies will also have a library full of video materials, which are referred to as 'action essentials'.
- The BBC sound library is a massive sound library with all the sounds that the BBC use. There are also many bundles in which to buy. For example, you can get the complete set which costs £99 where as, on the other hand you can get smaller bundles like transport which cost £4.95.

Internet
- This is one of the newest ways to get sounds and video effects for your production. For example, you can use freesound. This is a website that offers you sound for your production for free. I could use this site to build my own library because it is free and I could use the same sound for years to come.

Property Rights and Copyrights
- The most important thing to remember when using material is to assure that you have the wriiten consent. Otherwise, they might get sued.
- If you ask for permission to use someones material then you need to pay for it. A great amount of time is spent refining so that the investment has been used properly.

skills nee

- Props
I can use the Beacon School art department as i am a student and it would be cheaper than going to a prop house.

- Costumes
I can use the Beacon School textiles department as I am a student there and I could use them for free which means I would same money rather than visiting a designer.

- Music:
Goldsmith offer creative courses. offers opportunity for work. ads TV and film dramas
the curriculum is enhanced by reflecting the diversity.
NFTS- encouraging them to be collaborative. all three other uniqueness and quality. working on your own style.

Finance Talent

The BBC and Equity (the actor's union) have a agreement where the actor minimum fee for working on a set is £603. One week represents six working days, with each working day being eight hours long with a hour meal break. On the other hand if the duration is two weeks then this means ten working days with each day being nine hours long with a one hour break. In short film terms though many directors or producers would struggle with this rate so they usually ask the actor for a favor or pay them under the agreed wage. 

This is useful for my short film because like other short film directors I will struggle with paying the actors that amount of money. This is effective because i can ask the talent to compromise and bay them under the rate they are used to. 

Finance Transport

Crew
- Minibus
- Travel Expenses

Talent
- Taxi

Equipment
- Equipment Van

This is useful for my short film because I will need to secure transport for all of these things. For example, I will need to secure transport for the talent in order to secure them at the location when i need them to be there. This is effective because without the talent at location when I need him to film would mean that i will have to re-shoot and this costs money, more money than I currently have.

Finance Equipment

Capturing the Image
- Camera
- Tripod
- Lighting
- Slider/Glidecam Equipment
- Jib/Crane
- Camera: HD, full HD and sensor size.
- A larger sensor will contain a bigger sensor size
- Camera Legria
- Canon
- Canon 5D
- Canon 1D
- Black Magic Cinema Camera
- Red Camera

Recording Sound
- Sound Recorder
- Microphone
- Boom Pole
- Wind Shield

This is effective for my short film because this is not the true reflective of the equipment i would use because I am on a tight budget. For example, a jib costs around about £200 to £300 depending on the quality and the brand of the product. This is effective because as a student I will not have this money to spare so I will need to cut down in equipment like the jib.

Finance Crew

This is effective for short film because due to the fact i am on a short budget i will not be able to have such a vast crew. I will instead have a skeleton crew, this is the the bare minimum crew needed for filming, it usually consists of five people. This is effective because it is cheap to run but it person would have to work a lot harder due to doubling up roles or lack of equipment.

Finance companies

BFI Film Fund- This is a company that finances independent British film makers. The advantage of this company is that if you pass their application then they will fund your short film. This is effective because usually short film makers do not have a lot of money to spend so if they acquire the funding then they can spend their money in other things for the film. The disadvantage of this company is that they only other you £10,000. This is effective because in film making terms this is a incredibly small budget to work with.

Film4- This is a company that finances feature length films for multi national film makers. The advantage of this company is that you do not have to be British in order to receive funding from this specific company. This is effective because because international film makers usually struggle with getting the funds together for making films. This company would not be useful for my short film because they inly directly fund feature length films.

Introducing and Defying Short Film

This apply s to short film because i need to understand the requirements in making short films. The purpose of this research is to understand what difference is between short films and feature length films. This is effective because i do not want to be confused between short films and feature length films.
