What is "location scouting"?
Location scouting is the process of searching for and selecting suitable locations for filming a movie, television show, or other visual production. During this process, scouts visit various sites to evaluate their appearance, accessibility, and how well they fit the needs of the script or production design. The goal is to find locations that enhance the story, provide the desired visual aesthetics, and meet practical requirements such as lighting, space, and logistics.
