OUR ABC-LIST
Location management is a crucial aspect of film, TV, and commercial production. It involves finding and securing suitable locations for filming, managing logistics, and ensuring that the production team has everything they need to create a successful shoot. In this ABC article, we will explore the importance of our work and the key considerations that goes into finding and managing locations for film, TV, and commercial productions.
A - ACCESSIBILITY
One of the most important considerations for us when selecting a location for a production is accessibility. This is unfortunately something that production often forget and it will effect the budget in the end. The location should be easily accessible for the production team, equipment, and talents. This includes considerations such as parking, loading and unloading areas, and proximity to amenities such as restrooms and catering facilities. Accessibility is also important for ensuring that the location is safe and secure for the production team and equipment.
B - BUDGET
Budget is another critical consideration when it comes to location management. Productions must balance the cost of renting a location with the overall budget for the project. This includes not only the cost of renting the location but also any additional expenses such as permits, insurance, and security. Therefor it’s important that we can work closely with the production team to ensure that the chosen locations fit within the budget and that all necessary expenses are accounted for.
C - CREATIVE
The creative vision of the production team is also a crucial consideration when selecting locations. The location should fit the overall aesthetic and tone of the project and help to tell the story being told. This includes considerations such as the style of architecture, the natural surroundings, and the overall atmosphere of the location. Keep us close to the production team so we can help with that and understand their creative vision and find locations that fit within that vision.
D - DIVERSITY
Diversity is another important consideration when it comes to location management. Productions must ensure that they are representing a diverse range of locations and communities in their work. This includes considerations such as the cultural and historical significance of the location, as well as the diversity of the people who live and work in the area. We must work to find locations that represent a diverse range of perspectives and experiences.
E - ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Finally, we must all consider the environmental impact of the productions. This includes considerations such as the impact of filming on local wildlife and ecosystems, as well as the impact of production activities on the local community. Together we must work to minimize the environmental impact of their productions and ensure that they are operating in a sustainable and responsible manner. We all wanna be able to come back to a location more then once.
In conclusion, location management is a critical aspect of film, TV, and commercial production. We must consider a range of factors when selecting and managing locations, including accessibility, budget, creative vision, diversity, and environmental impact. By carefully considering these factors, we can help to ensure that your productions are successful, safe, and responsible.
