BUDGET FOR THE PROJECT
BUDGET FOR THE PROJECT
Budgeting the project has been rather difficult, because interviews have slowly came along & distance really has been a big factor. But from the start I knew that travel & food/drink would be the biggest factors into the budget.
Along side things like fuel & car parks etc coming into that. I knew I wanted to have travel in the project meaning a range of interviews from all the place, & each destination has had it's travels, from 20 minutes to 40 minutes to even pushing 1hr & half away.
It's now came to the end of filming & I can say that I've easily went through at least 2 tanks of fuels for the project = around £80 - I would say slightly under so looking £50 + up on fuel & then comes car parks, below is shots of all the car park tickets & other receipts I have for the project.

These adding another £20 onto project, with food & drink was mixed payment, sometimes I'd take the interviewee for a drink and buy them one or for example in Bristol, it was the other way round, but with drinks into that, it's adding another £20 onto the project.
In total I would say it's easily costed me £100 just in travel & food/drink. And It could easily be much more, I would love to have the budget to continue the project further, or at least the website onto bigger things after the project, where hopefully funding for this will be free & available.
But since travel was something I wanted, I wanted to feel the escape, enjoy the drive and the views and then meet someone new in a new place, understand there story from where they live, felt beyond special & something I look forward to as I've said to continue on.
