From camera to television, a film must go through many stages, capital must be raised to finance all areas, this includes actors' fees. This ranges from online costs where only a percentage of the final revenue is remitted. This is popular with actors such as Ewan McGregor who likes to work on low budget films. While other actors may charge a highlight fee which is a fixed fee, not variable depending on the success of the film. This can be very expensive: for example, a world-class star like Bruce Willis can earn $20 million from a film. These costs can be reduced by using “lower class” actors. After actors, there are many other negative costs that a filmmaker must face, including production expenses, which account for 60% of costs. Other costs also include promotion where “an average film costs $20,25,30 million” – as quoted by Bernard Weinraub of the New York Times.

Smaller filmmakers can find help from the lottery, which has created 3 'mini-studios' which part-finance films like 'Four Weddings and a Funeral' created by 'DNA Films Ltd'.
