Title: Conduct location scouting.
Course: Video and Media Technology (11055) > Section: Planning a Production

Conducting location scouting should include considering the following:
•    Light—Will there be enough light?
•    Objects and people—Will there be crowds?
•    Sound—Is it a noisy area? Will echoes be a problem?
•    Power—Will I be able to connect my camera and other equipment to a power source?
•    Permission—Do I have permission to shoot here? How might I obtain permission? What fees are associated with it?
•    Movement

Process/Skill Questions:

•    What permissions need to be obtained before filming?
•    Why is it important to scout out a location before filming?
•    Why is the timing of the location scout important compared to when the actual filming will take place?
