Location scouting

the process of selecting appropriate filming locations for a production, based on factors such as lighting, accessibility, safety, and availability

Examples

1. But the first shooting is also-- it's always planned good, with references, with great location scouting.

2. And in particular, I really enjoy his lesson about Location Scouting, which is about taking one location and using it really creatively to get lots of different shot angles or even different sets out of that one small space.

3. The process of the film has been, first of all, script writing, and then finding the right producers, then finding the money, location scouting, and actually casting, et cetera.
