Costs

Costs of Personnel:

If you were to have a professional budget then you would follow these prices roughly for the daily and weekly prices of a Camera Operator, Lighting Camera, Editor and Sound Recordist.

After vigorously researching and looking into the rates at BECTU which stands for Broadcasting, Entertaining, Cinematography and Theatre Union, I can see that they have provided me with the information in which shows the costs/ recommended amount to spend on daily and weekly rates of crew which would be working around 10 hours daily and overall 6 days a week. 

In terms of the Camera Operator:

The prices for Daily were around £371 - £620
The prices for Weekly were around £2,226 - £3,720

In terms of the Lighting Camera:

The prices for Daily were around £373 - £1,169
The prices for Weekly were around £2,238 - £7,014

In terms of the Editor:

The prices for Daily were around £157 - £176
The prices for Weekly were around £942 - £1,056

And lastly, with the Sound Recordist:

The prices for Daily were around £214 - £240
The prices for Weekly were around £1,284 - £1,440

Risk Assesment

Risk Assessments are important for not only your crew but for everyone involved within a production. This will allow everyone to be aware of the potential risks which are there within a production. An example of a couple risks which could potentially be there would be perhaps;

Wet floors, wires...

Here is an example
