Production budget
Also known as film budget, production cost plan.
A structured estimate and control plan for the costs required to complete and deliver a project.
In practice
A working budget ties assumptions to the script, schedule, rates, fringes, locations, post, insurance, contingency, and delivery rather than serving as a single headline number.
