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.
