  6. How to make films cheaper? • Eliminate night scenes. Shooting at night requires expensive lighting. • Avoid location filming in famous areas. Shooting a scene on, for example, the Golden Gate Bridge, requires stopping traffic. Filming such a scene for Interview with the Vampire cost Warner Bros. $500,000. • Film action scenes early on Sunday morning. Stopping traffic is easier in the early hours of Sunday morning. • Use unknown cast members rather than stars. • Film in a cheaper region e.g. Eastern Europe, Germany, Australia.
