Unit 1 - Funding

Funding


A way to receive funding for a movie can be done by asking a nearest and dearest for example a family member, or a close friend that has money to spare to fund a film. The way of asking them is to maybe pitch an idea to them that tries to convince them that you are very serious about making the film, and that if you've taken to time to create a presentation to them they may be more lenient to fund the film. By asking a family or friend they may be able to spread the word about the film and get you involved with their contacts who may have more power over funding the movie. 

The Movie Fund is a company that has a range of people that allows potential filmmakers to get involved with those people that can fund film. It has large range of filmmakers, producers, directors, actors and investors that can make this possible. 


An advantage of receiving funding from family or friends is that because you’re close with them they may see how much it means to you. A disadvantage of this would be if the film did not work out then they would have to try pay back the money that they borrowed, however they may not be able to pay back the money which may cause complications with relationships.
