  1. Best Tips For Location Scouting

  2. Break Down The Script Choose a site that matches the setting of your story. After it’s locked to establish what you want from each location. Remember, it’s just a tool helping you to tell the story, like anything else, so don’t get distracted by cool, but irrelevant locations. Find the ones that are best for your script and characters. www.hdbuttercuploft.com

  3. Scout At The Right Time It's wise to check your spot on the day of the week and the time of day that you'll be taping these factors can produce surprisingly large changes on the suitability of a location. Automobile traffic and noise, entertainment spots, and tourists at scenic all come in waves that vary dramatically based on the time of day, the day of the week and the season. www.hdbuttercuploft.com

  4. Check For Power Sources Not all of the locations can handle a full-scale shoot, especially if you’re going to use a lot of powerful lights. You’d like to avoid circuit breaks when you plug in all your equipment, so a generator may be handy. Note though, that it produces a lot of noise itself. www.hdbuttercuploft.com

  5. Toilet Facilities Are they at hand? Never forget about that - primal needs are not to be taken lightly. You’ll also need a quiet room where actors can make up and get ready. And preferably yet another room apart from the set where people can eat and chill during breaks. www.hdbuttercuploft.com

  6. Do The Technical Scout The tech scout involves your DP, Gaffer, Grip, Sound Recordist, and AD, if available.  Once the decision is made. Key members of the crew - cinematographer, grip, electrician, sound recordist - all of them would like to know the specifics of a location before the actual shoot begins. www.hdbuttercuploft.com

  7. Get Permission Be aware that you'll need to secure permits and other legal permissions to shoot at certain locations. As you're looking at a location, do a legal reality check. Cemeteries, malls, grocery stores, corporations and businesses are all private property. Many owners will be happy to accommodate you if you ask, but if not, you'll need to choose another location. www.hdbuttercuploft.com
