This film was also successful and made a lot of money by making over double of what they spent on the budget.

I have learnt from this task that, it is not always about how much you spend on a film that influences how much money the film will make. Some very successful films have been made with a very small budget yet they have made all of their money spent on it and much more. This means that a films success can be achieved by the editing, sound and camerawork. From this task we have learnt to take budgeting into account and as our film is very low budget we can still make our film successful by making use of resources and props that we already have and locations near by.
