(e.g. rates\, hours\, duration\, number of people)\nWhat do I need to find out? (e.g. rates\, hours\,tax status)\nMaking assumptions and ensuring consistency\nResearching and putting costs against each estimate\nAdditional costs?

To support this on-demand training there will be a series of live Q&A sessions where participants can bring all their spreadsheet questions. \nModule 1: The basics of budgeting – 4 hours live ONLINE\nLead by Alan Fairholm a Line Producer\, this session is designed to guide participants through the principles of estimating materials and labour so they can prepare a budget. The course will cover: \n\nWhat to consider\nHow to calculate the budget\nMaking estimates\nContingencies\n\nThe session will then drill down into the detail on labour costs: \n\nWhat am I trying to estimate? (what needs to be done\, by when\, and by whom?)\nWriting down a proposed list of labour needed/work to be done\nWhat information do I already have? (e.g. rates\, hours\, duration\, number of people)\nWhat do I need to find out? (e.g. rates\, hours\,tax status)\nMaking assumptions and ensuring consistency\nResearching and putting costs against each estimate\nAdditional costs? (e.g. travel\, per diems\, accommodation\, overtime\, holiday pay\, pension contributions)\nExplaining assumptions made to prepare the budget\n\nThen it will move onto materials costs: \n\nWhat am I trying to estimate?\nWriting down a list of components\nWhat do I already know? (e.g. sizes\, quantities\, quality)\nWhat do I need to find out? (e.g. quotes\, prices)\nMaking assumptions and ensuring consistency\nResearching and putting costs against each component\nHidden charges?

They will share their top tips and the common areas that cause problems and challenges when preparing and running a departmental budget. \nThe final part of the session will look to draw this part of the course together\, to offer the opportunity for students to share thoughts and questions to ensure they leave the course with a clear vision of how they will go forward in preparing budgets. \nPART 2 for HODs\nPart 2 for HODs – 2 hour live ONLINE session\nThese are department-specific sessions and are for HODs only who have completed Part 1. \nThis part is for experienced HODs within Locations\, Art\, Costume and makeup to enable them to further develop their budgeting skills and knowledge.

This free-to-attend course is taught online by industry Line Producers and Craft HODs. \n  \nThis training is supported by the ScreenSkills Film Skills Fund with contributions from UK film productions and by the ScreenSkills High-end TV Skills Fund with contributions from UK high-end TV productions. \nWHO IS THE COURSE FOR?\nThis course is recommended for Film and/or HETV: \n\nArt Department\n\nHODs\nCraft/technical co-ordinators\nProfessionals with 3 or more years’ experience in the department\n\n\nCostume\n\nHODs\nCraft/technical co-ordinators\nProfessionals with 3 or more years’ experience in the department\n\n\nHair and Make-up\n\nHODs\nCraft/technical co-ordinators\nProfessionals with 3 or more years’ experience in the department\n\n\nLocations\n\nHODs\nCraft/technical co-ordinators\nProfessionals with 3 or more years’ experience in the department\n\n\n\nWe also welcome applications from those looking to return to work following a career break who have equivalent experience. \nCOURSE OUTLINE\nThis course is in two parts – Part 1 is open to all and Part 2 is an additional session\, especially for HODs. \nPart 1 consists of 3 modules: \nModule 0: Introduction and familiarisation with spreadsheets for beginners – on-demand and live ONLINE Q&A (optional)\n \nModule 1: The basics of budgeting – 4 hours live ONLINE \nModule 2: The relationship between departments and the Line Producer and Production Accountant – 4 hours live ONLINE\n \nPart 2 for HODs\n \nFurther Guiding Principles of Departmental Budgeting – 2 hours live ONLINE \nPART 1 MODULES\nPart 1 consists of 3 modules:\nModule 0: Introduction and familiarisation with spreadsheets for beginners (optional) – on-demand and live ONLINE Q&A\nAll participants will be sent access to our on-demand introduction to spreadsheets training which can be completed in their own time. To support this on-demand training there will be a series of live Q&A sessions where participants can bring all their spreadsheet questions. \nModule 1: The basics of budgeting – 4 hours live ONLINE\nLead by Alan Fairholm a Line Producer\, this session is designed to guide participants through the principles of estimating materials and labour so they can prepare a budget. The course will cover: \n\nWhat to consider\nHow to calculate the budget\nMaking estimates\nContingencies\n\nThe session will then drill down into the detail on labour costs: \n\nWhat am I trying to estimate? (what needs to be done\, by when\, and by whom?)\nWriting down a proposed list of labour needed/work to be done\nWhat information do I already have? (e.g. rates\, hours\, duration\, number of people)\nWhat do I need to find out? (e.g. rates\, hours\,tax status)\nMaking assumptions and ensuring consistency\nResearching and putting costs against each estimate\nAdditional costs? (e.g. travel\, per diems\, accommodation\, overtime\, holiday pay\, pension contributions)\nExplaining assumptions made to prepare the budget\n\nThen it will move onto materials costs: \n\nWhat am I trying to estimate?\nWriting down a list of components\nWhat do I already know? (e.g. sizes\, quantities\, quality)\nWhat do I need to find out? (e.g. quotes\, prices)\nMaking assumptions and ensuring consistency\nResearching and putting costs against each component\nHidden charges? (e.g. P&P\, Returns\, Deposits\, Additional insurance)\nRecognising VAT inclusive and VAT exclusive prices\n\nBy the end of the session\, participants will be able to use this information to prepare a budget and be able to explain the assumptions made. \nModule 2: The relationship between departments and the Line Producer and Production Accountant – 4 hours live ONLINE\nThis session follows Module 1 and is department specific. In this session\, you will learn first-hand from an experienced HOD from your department about how they approach budgeting. They will give examples from productions they’ve worked on\, what they took into account and what top tips they have that have helped them create and manage budgets. \nThey will also share how they work with the Line Producer\, how important these relationships are for the production\, the importance of keeping costs up to date and accurate to ensure the smooth running of the production. \nThe second half of the session\, we will be joined by a Production Accountant to hear how they work with the Production Departments and Line Producers on the financial management of the production. They will share their top tips and the common areas that cause problems and challenges when preparing and running a departmental budget. \nThe final part of the session will look to draw this part of the course together\, to offer the opportunity for students to share thoughts and questions to ensure they leave the course with a clear vision of how they will go forward in preparing budgets. \nPART 2 for HODs\nPart 2 for HODs – 2 hour live ONLINE session\nThese are department-specific sessions and are for HODs only who have completed Part 1. \nThis part is for experienced HODs within Locations\, Art\, Costume and makeup to enable them to further develop their budgeting skills and knowledge. These are smaller in depth sessions and have been designed for those who have extensive experience as an HOD in one of these departments. \nThis is an opportunity for participants to go into further detail about budgeting and cost management from the perspective of an HOD. It will be an opportunity for participants to ask specific questions about current or previous projects where they encountered budgetary challenges. \nThe sessions will be led by two trainers\, a Line Producer and an HOD from that department. \nRECORDINGS\nPart 1 – Modules 1 and 2 will be recorded and shared with participants following the training.
