In our lessons we also learnt about the difference between big and small budget films within the industry. The first of these that we learnt about was the big budget films. We found that they tended to be blockbusters and produced by big company such as the big 6. There budget tends to range above a budget of $12,000,000. However a small budget film is more commonly produced by an independent film company and will cost much less than a big budget film due to lack of financial support.
