Folks, you'll be doing location reccys very soon. There's a lot of factors to take on board.
But there is also the basics.
How to contact someone to check out a location.
What to do when you get there.
How to know if it's good or not.
Transport and access issues for that location.
Sound issues.
Light issues.
Weather issues.
We've talked about some of these, and more, in class. But now we need to get down to actually getting out there, finding locations, if they aren't already found and booking them with the right person, with a location contract.
As a starter, I found this blog for the film Iron Sky. It's specifically the production staff doing a reccy for a location. It's quite interesting and worth a read.
Notice how the Director is around to make important decisions.
Handy for you guys since you are doubling up. Also, see how many photographs they take. You should try and do the same.
