You Can Shoot A Movie With Any Amount Of Money by VcStunner(m): 2:42pm On Mar 03, 2019
What determines your cost is what you can get for free, and you could make a free film if you did without anything you had to pay for. How? Friends! Colleagues!! Friends!!!
Since you can't afford professional services, it's only normal to say you will have to bring your A game in negotiation and leadership if you actually want to successfully convince your colleagues and friends on this adventure. The nature of your script is also very key. Write more Exteriors than interiors, if possible no interiors at all.

- Camera - you need a camera. An iPhone actually looks quite great. If you don't have one, borrow one.

- Lighting - do you have bulbs around the house? Work lights? Wax paper to diffuse lights/tin foil to reshape them? That too is okay.

- Cameraperson - will they work for free? Of course many will like to work for free!

- Actors - get friends to act in it. I have written about the importance of the friends you meet in auditions and sets before yeah? This is where you put them to use.

- Food for the crew. This is one of the biggest expenses in low budget filmmaking. Are people buying their own food or are you just not counting this as part of the budget?

- Editing - can you use a free editing program on a computer you already have?

- Marketing and Distribution - You don't start anything without first sorting this one out.

I would never try to make a feature for Zero Naira, though. Consider the level of competition you're up against, and whether you will make your best possible film or just tear your hair out for something that you're not proud of. Instead of a feature for Zero, why not a short for N25k to N50K? If you make a really good short, your way forward will be that much easier.

subsequently, i will be dropping some dope short film ideas you can make with very little budget.
