To create my whole film I would need an estimate budget of around $30 million. This is because I would need a significant amount of money to afford the different kinds of cameras for example the Arri Alexa Cameras which were used on Oscar award winning films such as 'The Revenant' and 'Birdman' which showed it's incredible capabilities to create shots with a huge amount of detail without distortion. This would be perfect for my film as I want to create a different look using contrasting camera angles and lighting so would therefore need cameras that can cope with such fluctuating conditions. I would also need a camera able to film in low light as many of the scenes would be filmed at night or in dark settings such as woodland to make the film more dark and sinister.
I would also need a professional make-up artist to create injuries and wounds that looked believable to the audience. This would go along with the need for hiring or recreating locations such as hospital wards and police stations to give it an exceptionally naturalistic feel which would greatly contrast with the changing camera work making the audience feel uncomfortable and unsafe.
I would also need to pay the script writers, producers, DOP, set designers, costume designers, a post-production team as well as actors and extras of which there'd be many to create the feel of a real town. This would take a significant chunk from my budget.
However, as all my scenes take place in one town I wouldn't need a huge number of sets which would reduce costs. Also, as it's so naturalistic, I wouldn't need a lot of expensive props as everything would need to be what you would see in an average town.
Therefore I would not need an extortionate budget but it would still need to be significant enough to create a professional, exciting looking piece.
I could use a UK distributer like Twentieth Century Fox or Warner Bros for my film as these companies distributed 'Gone Girl' and 'Zodiac' both of which had similar budgets.
