This DVD contains a detailed three-hour overview of the twin pillars of production - scheduling & budgeting.
This intensive course analyzes the process, technique and complex relationship between a film's schedule & its budget. The filmmakers first step is to understand the relationship between the script and the budget. The two must "match" in order to have enough (but not too much) money for the production. Three basic steps to understanding and implementing the relationship.
