| WritingSoul | Posted – 10/3/2007 1:12:05 AM | show profile | email poster Sorry for how specific this question is, but I'm wondering what to charge for a specific assignment that involves approx. 4 half-hour interviews (with subjects on-camera) and the viewing of approx. 4 films for background research + the time it takes me to write up the questions and do general research. What's a fair rate to charge for such a project? |

(Now, some might not consider 8 hours of film watching really work). I would probably ask for $1500.00 myself, though the client might only be willing to fork over a few hundred. If the client wants to low ball you, and you want to minimize your time investment, in all likelihood you could probably get away doing this without watching the films, if you just read some reviews of them. That would save you 8 hours and make this more like a one-day project. |
