In films there budgets are not given to them like soaps budgets. Film budgets have to make their own money to make the film the film a success. To make that, a dierector hires a producer to get the money, also often means asking other film companies.
In soaps they are given a specific budgets by the television companies, for example hollyoaks would be channel 4 and eastenders and doctors would be BBC1. 


In soaps there dierectors and producer work together with coming up new story lines, making sure that they do not go over budget. .
Films have a higher budget for example to make the film, Lord Of The Rings, it cost £94 million compared to Eastenders whose annual budget is £29.8 million.
In results of having a low budgets, they have to ensure that they do not spend to much over unecessary things such as big stunts on every episode instead of special episodes for story climax. For example In Coronation Street's Tram crash just over a year ago and Eastenders the Yusuf abuse storyline climax where he blew up the bmb trying to kill Masood.
In an article from the Daily Mail I found out that Eastenders works with an average of 16 characters per episode to keep costs down. As the recession got worse, Eastenders bosses had to cut down costs they pay staff including the biggest stars of the show. Over four and a half years they made 7,200 job cuts. They were asked to let the public know all of their costs going in and out but Eastenders remained to keep this information safe. Although they had to hire a lawyer in order to do this which took them out of £200,000.
