Scout for light and logistics
A location can look beautiful and still be hard to shoot. Check where the sun falls, where the crew can park, whether bathrooms are nearby, and how crowded the area gets during the planned time.
Think about sound for video
Beaches, traffic, fountains, wind, air conditioners, and public events can all affect dialogue and live audio. If clean sound matters, scout with audio in mind.
- Confirm access windows and any permit needs
- Plan shade or interior backup options
- Account for wardrobe changes and client comfort
- Build travel time into the shot list
A beautiful location only works if the production can actually move through it.
