Locations
Location(s) Manager usually uses their own personal library for their knowledge to try and get the director vision to come alive. Location scouts are also involved who help the location manager.
The research is vital when looking for a location searching because their are many ways you can get locations from: Libraries (Third parties), local location offices and location resources.
After the research is done scouting needs to happen and that's when the leg work occurs. You need scout for the locations so this involves taking pictures, but some properties that are privately owned may have a fee with them to be used.
When scouting it requires you to do a recce checklist and a recce form. A recce checklist has a checklist of all the things you need to remember on what to do when you are at a location for example listen out for sounds that could potentially disturb your scene, remembering to bring certain equipment such as a mobile phone. A recce form is a form that is based of the health and safety, accessibility and electrics, finally and an evaluation of the overall location so how it sounds, and how it looks.

- If the engagement is for one week this represents 6 x work days. Each work day being 8 hours in duration (9 hours with 1 hour meal break).
