Easy Pre-Production Cost Saving Tips p.5
One of the most exciting parts of moviemaking is when a film finally enters pre-production. Everyone is so happy that they are making the movie that everyone is afraid to say "no". Of course, everyone should play nicely but they should always keep in mind what's best for the film- the creative vision and the budget.
If the film is being shot on location in a different city or state from where the producers, writers and director live, that means that they will have to stay at a hotel during pre-production for location scouting. Each hotel room costs money, plane tickets are expensive and everyone usually submits their receipts for reimbursement or receives a per diem. Interestingly, usually only the director and one producer have a say creatively (the rest serve a vital purpose but probably not creatively related). Keep things simple by scouting with only people who are vital to the creative vision.
Remember that money saved in the film budget during pre-production is just as important as staying on budget during post-production.
