A recce is a pre-filming visit to potential locations to assess their suitability for shooting. The document describes recces conducted at a green screen room and an underpass. The green screen room would be suitable for shooting the magazine's front cover due to good lighting that can be adjusted and the room suiting the magazine's theme. The underpass would also be suitable, providing an urban setting that matches the magazine's theme and allowing pictures to be taken for the double page spread and content page, ideally in cloudy afternoon weather.
