How does a film recoup the production finance?
- You would first plan a pitch of the project: Turning the idea into a finished script could take up a long time to get it perfect, and time costs a lot of money. Funding is needed to support the writer, the producer and sometimes even the director during this process. This money is called Development Funding. The producer goes to a potential investor and presents the 'pitch' the project to them, and maybe if the funder likes the idea then they would invest money to develop it more.
- The producer would approach a film production companies for development money, although they have project of their own: If the producer can negotiate with the production company that the film is going to make a profits, they may offer development money to develop a script. However in return for the money the production company asks for right( thats not the obligation though).
NOT FINISHED !!!!!
