The equipment I need to use will be needed on every location.

• We will need a video camera for every scene in order to record.
• We will use a tripod in order to keep the camera balanced and level.

Hypothetical Budget-

In order to make this idea into an actual feature film I would have too hire film crews/actors etc. Of course this would require a much larger budget.

Actors- I found a website 'castingnow.co.uk' which specialises in advertising roles needing to be filled in film productions. I found a job very similar to the job I'd need filled if I were to produce 'Pizza Boy' as a feature film. This job offers £40 per day. I would need up to 6 actors for this project for at least 3 days of filming. This gives me an estimate of £720 minimum.

Camera Crew- 

I used the website 'tallboy.co.uk' in order to get an estimated price on hiring a camera crew. Below is the price guide:

This guide estimates that full crew would cost from £1,250 per day. I panned on filming at least 3 days which would bring to total up to £3,750.

Costumes and Props- This would not change in price as I would be using the same for either film production.

In total the film would cost a minimum of: £4,470 to make.

Relevant legal and ethical issues-

Estimated age certificate: 12A

• Representation issues: The way in which some characters are represented as 'scruffy' due to their geographical locations could be seen as offensive. In order to prevent any offences we are deliberately not stating specific locations of the different 'customers' we will be visiting. this allows an ambiguity that keeps the film remote.
• A legal issue we could face is not having permission to film on our locations. In order to prevent this we have written up consent forms for our actors and location owners to sign their consent too. By collecting these forms we have data confirming that we have the right and permission to film on the locations we have consent too and to film people who are consenting.
• Our cast is purely made up of white, female actresses as they are the only actors available to us at the time of filming. This may cause a representation issue as only one gender and only one race is being used in our film. If this becomes an issue for anyone involve in the film or anyone watching the film we shall attempt to hire a more diverse cast.
• A legal issue we could face is the use of other company logos, for instance a pizza box from an actual pizza shop. We need to prevent this by using blank pizza boxes in our film.
