π³ Location scouting 101 π³
Here are three things to keep in mind when you're on the hunt for the perfect location to shoot.
1οΈβ£ Be mindful of sounds
You could find the perfect grassy field to film on, but if there's a busy highway behind you, it could seriously mess with your audio. You might have to film without audio, or with specific equipment to compensate.
2οΈβ£ It has to be legal
Sadly, most of the great locations in the world, particularly indoor ones, are privately owned. Trespassing, even in the name of art, isn't cool. If you can't get permission to film, you'll have to go with option B.
3οΈβ£ Consider landmarks carefully
When filming in cities, you might capture recognisable landmarks in the background. That can be fine if you want your audience to know where you are, but it can be distracting if it's not on purpose.
