CrewDesk/Glossary/Above the line and below the line
Above the line and below the line are the two halves of a film budget. Above the line covers the people who shape the project creatively and financially; below the line covers everyone and everything needed to make it.
One click, no account. The demo is filled with sample productions and rebuilt every day.
Writers, producers, the director and principal cast are above the line, and their fees are usually negotiated before the shoot. Below the line includes the crew, equipment, locations, transport, catering, post-production and insurance.
