Location Scouting
When filming on-location, as opposed to filming in a controlled studio, there is a pre-production step that needs to be taken: location scouting. Typically done by directors in conjunction with directors of photography and sometimes lighting technicians, location scouting is the process of selecting a right location for the different scenes of the production.
Locations have a significant impact on the final product. They can be either exteriors or interiors, studios, houses, living rooms, offices, stores, warehouses, open fields, etc. Every set where the action is filmed, is a filming location.
Choosing the right locations is the responsibility of both the production company and the artists as the locations need to please the artists as well as serving the technical and creative requirements of the treatment as interpreted by the director.
