Hello Everyone,

Its Josh here from Loveridge Designs, this week on “Getting into it with Loveridge Designs” We are going to what location scouting is and why it is an essential piece of the production process.

Two of the most significant aspects of any production are location and environment. Proper location scouting gives the production team the chance they will need to produce an amazing piece of content.

The first step in getting a suitable site for your content is the pre-production phase. This will include reviewing the script and ensuring that everybody on a location knows exactly what it is that the DP is looking for.

It needs to be recorded in a way that is beneficial to the output once a site has been identified. Typically, the reporting process involves running a practical checklist to decide if the project will be supported by the area.

Once all the sites for the production are picked, it is important to obtain permission to enter as well as licenses, the permits needed for a production vary from country to country.

Among the most challenging aspects of location scouting is possibly adapting the atmosphere of a scene to a setting. “Mood boarding” is also used to aid imagination on what the room should look and sound like. The value of this is that all group members will work on it to achieve a more full image of the ideal site.

The authenticity of certain places is one aspect that can put a video apart.

On the statement alone that, if places can be identified that have a totally distinctive appearance, then it should be regarded. You can still create a set as well, but having the look of the environments of a film distinctive and cohesive is among the most important assets in the pre – production phase.

One of the most significant qualities of a good production is site selection. It takes time and a fair amount of expert analysis to find the right spot.

However, in order to truly be successful, the place must also meet the project’s technological needs. Truly impressive things can be done whens team work together. A fantastic site is more than just a venue that vaguely meets a production’s needs, it’s an environment that can be turned into an area that people can engage with and appreciate.

Thank you very much for taking the time to watch the video I hope you found it both informative and engaging
Until next time.
