Look at Paranormal Activity as example. They say they spent 10 grand making it. I assume that is including the weed and beer involved while shooting. Blair Witch? 'Twas turned in as a final in a film class.
Yeah but they still made them for that. Not what we saw unless we saw it at a festival but they were completed and did festivals. Anytime a festival film is purchased money is pumped in. Of course much more if shot in video with bad sound. But you can still have the hopes of completing a 10K film and selling it whereupon more money can be put into it. Theatrical distribution is a bad judge, sure, but go to some festivals and there are some 10K films with great sound and picture.The cost figures are always misleading on such projects; that is what was spent on shooting those films. Quite a bit of money was spent by the distributors on audio post for both of those films; about $50,000 on "Paranormal", over $1million on "Blair Witch" (they had to ADR most of the film; the production sound was atrocious). The movie-going public has very high expectations when it comes to the sound of the films they pay to see, even though they are not aware of it. They also spent quite a bit on color correction and other visual post fixes (sorry, I don't know how much; that's not my group of peers).
