Los Angeles has wonderful film locations that can be used in numerous ways in your next film.
Whether it is for a documentary, filming commercials, or a feature film, you can find a variety of
shooting locations in Los Angeles known as the the Entertainment Capital of the World.
When it comes to producing professional productions in Los Angeles whether it be a reality series,
commercial, feature film, or tv sitcom, the filming location the director selects can make the difference
between a product that is subpar and one which will be taken seriously. The location must have the space
as well as other required amenities and most importantly plus be easily accessible for everyone involved.
Here is a tips when scouting for a film location.
You’re casting your film with actors who have a lot of character, so why not find locations with character, too?
Don’t list generic locations like a bookstore or a restaurant; go with specific settings that will be memorable
to your audience, such as a quaint boutique bookstore or a French café with a patio overlooking a park.
Does your lead character live in a small, messy apartment or a lavish house on gated grounds with an
Olympic-sized swimming pool?
Secondly, this sounds like a superfluous luxury for a filmmaker on a budget, but if you take the trouble to be a little picky,
it can really raise the production value of the movie and save you money in the long run. For instance, when you have
little-to-no money to spend on production design and set dressing, it’s incredibly valuable to have a location that already
suits the aesthetic you are looking for. The less a location needs to be camera-ready, the greater the savings on art
department materials and labor. This kind of fringe benefit also extends to the camera department, who may
have to light around awful paint jobs or lighting that just gives the wrong mood for the scene.
