  1. Location Scouting The how tos

  2. 11/3/09Aim: How to we use location scouting to prepare for shooting? • Do Now: What do you believe the importance of a location scout to be?

  3. Reminders about scouting:What to be concerned with:

  4. The Look (General Scout) • Focus on: • Look at physical space • Architecture • Background • Light • Colors • Lines • What does the look add to the film aesthetically? • Appropriate for the action? • Add to the overall emotional tone?

  5. Access • Can you get access to the location on the day/hours you need it? • For us, this will be more about other students being there etc

  6. Logistics • Is the location safe? • Adequate light? • Enough space for crew, equipment and cast?

  7. Sound • Are you using sound? • What is the ambient sound like? • Will the ambient sound affect your ability to have quality dialogue?

  8. Securing the location • Permits and agreements—more for a professional film set, but for us: • Do I need prior permission to use the space? • Does a teacher need to be present? • Will other groups likely want access to it too?

  9. Art Direction • What does the setting look like in its unaltered state? • What is on the walls? • What are the furnishings? • What is in the background? • What needs to change to make the space look the way you want it to look?

  10. By the end of today: • Full location scout finished, including photos taken of each set-up. • List of needed props and other materials and who will be responsible to bring them in • Breakdown sheets for each scene
