A successful shoot begins well before the first photo is taken.
Among the essential steps, location scouting and obtaining filming permits play a decisive role, especially when it comes to a new location.
Why is location scouting essential?
Before the big day, French production Service analyses every detail:
• The lighting at the location and how it changes throughout the day
• The space and technical constraints
• The sound environment and safety
• The artistic consistency with the shoot concept
This is when everything comes together: anticipation, preparation, fluidity.
And when working in a new location?
Applying for authorisation is essential:
• It ensures that the team can work legally
• It avoids last-minute surprises
• It protects the location, the team and the client
• It allows us to obtain the specific rules to be followed (schedules, accessible areas, authorised equipment, etc.)
These steps may seem administrative, but they are essential to ensure a professional, safe and respectful production.
In the end:
Precise location scouting + well-managed authorisations = a smooth, controlled shoot and images that tell exactly the story you imagined.
Thanks to your production company in France, be sure your shooting is entirely covered. All your needs are listened and applied.
