You can't really expect this to work whilst being named "Rage against media".

It's probably a good job his site isn't named that then.

Took words outta my mouth lol.

I'm going to do film as I'm currently doing my second last year of my degree in TV & Film Production. I'm interested in media as a whole, so plan to be like I suppose a smaller version of the BBC lol

Better start joining other people's projects in the industry before you try and set up a company without experience, trust me.

[peteyt]

I'm just running it as a small thing at the moment. A few other people in uni are doing the same thing - means I've got something i can work on while doing other projects.

How do you intend to finance film projects?

[peteyt]

Sorry about the late reply had a busy few weeks. Just shot a music video over the weekend and shooting a short film next weekend,

Currently all our projects are self funded. All the projects im currently doing are part of our degree, but I do have plans to do some outside of University projects and possibly community projects, which we could get some funding towards. Currently all the main crew have been putting money towards it, we did try and get some outside funding but had problems. We know of one place, but we are saving that for our next final year project.

Theres a lot of ways you can save money. People see the large budgets for major films, but for short films you can get it a lot cheaper. For example, we used some professional actors, but due to it been a university film were able to negioate a £30 a day fee, which is quite cheap for actors. We could have used friends and students and got it very cheap, but then our work would suffer from it.

The thing with short films is they aren't really a money maker - there mainly a calling card - something that you can use as examples of previous works to help you go bigger in the future. A lot of people try to go straight for the big film, while as its better to do a really good five minute film, do a few more and then gradually start going bigger.

How much are your crew giving toward the project(s)?

[partie2]

What background does your team have in the media industry?

[peteyt]

Well the people I do the film projects with are like myself students on the same course. We are putting in £100 for this project each, with 5 - so £500. As we did most of our shots outdoors and at my home we paid nothing for locations, with most of the money going to food and drink, cast, accomidation and travel expenses. We had really all the props we needed - the artist brought all his equipment etc.
