Below the line (film production)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In budgeting a motion picture, below-the-line costs include the salaries of the non-starring cast members and the technical crew, as well as use of the film studio and its technical equipment, travel, location, and catering costs, etc. In contrast to above the line costs, the below-the-line budget is usually fixed.
Below the Line is also the name of a Hollywood trade magazine that publishes articles and production listings whose primary audience is the film crew. It could be considered the complement to Variety Magazine.
