Good Film budgeting refers to the process by which a producer, production manager or director prepares a budget for a film production. A budget is generally divided into four sections: above the line (creative talent), below the line (direct production costs), post-production (editing, visual effects, etc.), and other (insurance, completion bond, etc. ) Film financing can be obtained from a private investor, sponsor, product placement, film studio, entertainment company or out-of-pocket funds. Items that play an important role in the budget sequentially include story rights, script, producers, directors, cast, production costs, visual effects, and music. First of all, the right to produce a film based on a play, a novel, a musical or a video game, either as a remake or sequel, can cost anywhere from a couple of thousand to over 10 million dollars. So a top-notch screenwriter can be paid between $100,000 and $2 million to write a screenplay. After that, film producers and executive producers are often well paid, with a top producer earning a seven-figure salary up front, plus bonuses and a share of the profits. So the director is paid about $16,800 a week, at a minimum
