Why the Blair Witch Project is a low budget film:
The Blair Witch Project is a low budget film because there aren’t many cast members and they weren’t paid much to “act”. The 3 main actors characters were named after them and some of the casts characters didn't even have names, they were simply called “Fisherman with glasses” and “Man in Yellow Hat” etc. When they were making the film, their budget was estimated to be around $60,000 and in their opening weekend they received around $1,000,000 (USA) (16 July 1999) and the gross total they earned was around $140,000,000 (USA) (5 November 1999). They saved lots of money because they used hand-held cameras and they filmed outside most of them time so that means they didn't need to pay for rent and lights because they were able to use the natural lighting. The filming only took 8 days as majority of the filming was done in the same place with some scenes being off to the distance of the main filming area. There was no set script for this as they planned the actors to improvise as they please, which means they didn't need to pay anyone to proofread the script.
