@heavyshovelproductions: The first half of this video? That’s from our location scout—a scrappy camera rehearsal with just the basics. The second half is the final product—actors, lights, and all the pieces coming together. Seeing the shot go from rough to polished always makes me fall in love with the process all over again. A few reminders for your next location scout: 1. Test your framing – Bring a camera (even your phone) to map out shots and see how the location reads on screen. 2. Track the light – Notice where the natural light hits throughout the day. It might save your scene or show you where you’ll need reinforcements. 3. Sound matters – Listen for planes, traffic, or anything that could throw off a clean take. 4. Walk through the action – Block out the movements. How will your actors, camera, and crew fit into the space? 5. Get creative with limitations – Sometimes a weird corner or tight space forces you to think outside the box—and that’s where the magic happens. From imagining the shot to executing it, the location scout is where the blueprint begins. Never skip it. #indiefilmmaking #filmmakingtips #locationscout #bts #cinematography #shortfilms #setlife #filmmakersjourney #behindthescenes
