In order for this project to be produced into the website I want it to be I have looked into how much it will realistically cost by researching into the expenses for each element. Since my project isn’t a short film or a stereotypical documentary I have only included the expenses I believe I will need to make ‘Femme’ a viable project:

​

Website Designer:  £500-£900

Total: £650-£1,050

Production Schedule

With potential website designer James Dowen the outcome for building my website shouldn’t take longer than a couple of months I’ll be looking at this to be completed between March and April with final touches to take place before May.

 

As for filming the participants my schedule will be to shoot each interviewee between February and March each shoot will take between 1-2 hours with a two-camera set up.  Below is a rough outline for production:

​

February – March: Filming of volunteers

March – April: Working a long side web designer James Dowen with filming in between.

April: Postproduction on videos

April – May: Final touches to website

​

I believe this schedule gives me a reasonable amount of time to have everything in order for the launch of my website in May. As I am yet to find and finalise participants the remainder of January is when I’ll be contacting people to participate.
