    While some of the most expensive Hollywood films had budgets over $200 million, successful films do not necessarily require a large budget. Monster, which was made for less than half a million dollars, is an example of a low-budget but critically acclaimed film. Monster was filmed in just 3 weeks using digital video with a crew of only 7 people. It was filmed on location instead of in a studio and used locals as extras to avoid additional costs. The director did most of the post-production work himself from home to keep costs low. Though some criticized it, Monster was well-received and demonstrated that high production values do not require a huge budget.

    Big movies on a small budget

    Most people would say that you need millions of dollars to make a successful movie.Would they
    be right? Some of the really expensive Hollywood films are the Oscar-winner Titanic
    (1997),which cost $200 million to make,Spider Man 3 (2007) had a budget of more than $250
    million.To make a successful film doesn’t mean that you need a lot of money.One example is
    Movie Monster (2010) which cost less than half a million dollars to make.It is set in Mexico and it
    is the story of two people trying to escape from aliens and get back to the USA.The film won
    several awards and got very good reviews from many film critics,which put Monsters at number
    3 in it’s list of the best scientific film in 2010.How did they make the film so cheaply ?It took only
    3 weeks to film.The man who made the film with digital video,which is cheaper,the film crew was
    just 7 people in a vain.They used real location,not a studio.The extras in the film were people
    who were there,so the director didn’t need to pay them.Gare Edwards,who made the film did
    the most od the production himself,he did it at home on his computer.The final film looked nearly
    as professional as big fancy Hollywood film.A lot of people critisised this film,but all together it
    was well received,at least it wasn’t expensive to make.
