The document provides instructions for location scouting for a film shoot. Location scouting reports should be completed for each identified shoot location and should include details like the script location, address, contact information, impressions of the location, available lighting and power sources, and any issues or additional set dressing needed. Photos of the location stitched into a panoramic image on a smartphone app can provide an illustration. A schematic diagram or floor map of the location should also be included, showing layout details. The scouting report, panorama, and floor map should all accompany each other for each location.

2. As well as completing the LOCATION SCOUTING REPORT you should take a series of
photographs of the location that when combined in PHOTOSHOP can produce a
panoramic view of the entire area in which you plan to work. There are APPs available on
iPhone and Android that allow you to stich photos taken on your smartphone together into
a single panoramic image. !
!
In addition to photographic illustration of the location, as shown above, you should also
sketch out a schematic diagram of the location, showing the location of doors, windows,
light sources and power sockets as well as other relevant fittings and furniture.!
Both your PANORAMA and FLOOR-MAP should accompany your SCOUTING REPORT.
You should also include a screen grab of the location taken from Google Maps,
highlighting where precisely you plan on filming.
