production expenses
Making something's price
Production expenses are the costs incurred in creating goods or content.
In film and television, these include equipment, crew salaries, location fees, and materials—everything spent during actual shooting as opposed to development or post-production.
In manufacturing, production expenses cover raw materials, labor, and factory overhead.
