24-3602J Location Scouting and Management Workshop

Course focuses on the role of the location manager who 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. Further, the course focuses on the location manager as 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. The location manager typically is also the primary Location Scout for a film. They usually oversee several other scouts and assistant managers during the course of a show. They will commonly work closely with the director and the production designer during preproduction to find and secure the creative vision expressed by them. They are also responsible for public relations at the locations used and the safety of the crew during filming.
