Conducting location scouting should include considering the following:
• Light—Will there be enough light?
• Objects and people—Will there be crowds?
• Sound—Is it a noisy area? Will echoes be a problem?
• Power—Will I be able to connect my camera and other equipment to a power source?
• Permission—Do I have permission to shoot here? How might I obtain permission? What fees are associated with it?
• Movement
Process/Skill Questions:
• What permissions need to be obtained before filming?
• Why is it important to scout out a location before filming?
• Why is the timing of the location scout important compared to when the actual filming will take place?
