What is a Location Scout ?

– from wikipedia

Location Scouting is a vital process in the pre-production stage of filmmaking and commercial photography. Once scriptwriters, producers or directors have decided what general kind of scenery they require for the various parts of their work that is shot outside of the studio, a search is begun for a suitable place or “location” outside the studio. Location scouts will also look for appropriately spectacular or interesting locations beforehand, to have a database of locations in case of requests. Location scouts are also often tasked with negotiating legal access to filming locations, obtaining film permits, etc.

The Location Manager is responsible for the finding and securing locations to be used and coordinating the logistics involved for the production to successfully complete its necessary work. They are also the face of the production to the community and responsible for addressing the issues that may arise due to the production’s impact on the community.

A Location Scout or Location Manager is paid a daily or weekly salary as opposed to a commission per location.
