Budget

For our film we have a very low budget (like non existant), so beccy thought we would take a look at some low budget films that were succesful. Granted, even the low budget films would have had a bigger budget than us, but if we were a real production company making a full length film to try to make a profit, we would find some way to gather up a better budget. This could be through investors and sponsors or even fundraising.

The Blaire Witch Project is probably the most successful low budget film. It had a budget of around $60,000 but grossed at almost $249 million worldwide. Other successul low budget films are Deep Throat, Sholay, Enter the Dragon, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Rocky, Halloween, Napolean Dynamite, Juno, Slumdog Millionaire and Marianne.

A microbudget is films with even smaller budgets (still not as small as ours), and a few of these have been successful. These include El Mariachi, The Apu Trilogy, Pather Panchali, The Adventures of Goopy and Bagha, The Chess Players, The Zombie Diaries and, most famously, Paranormal Activity.
