PHOTO TIPS: We
n creating your online location rental profile on FilmLocationsWanted.com, you need to keep in mind how to get the best out of your online listing.
Location profiles with photos not only get more views and inquiries, the photos can also be featured within our web site, in our marketing venues and on the home page.
The number one issue to keep in mind when displaying your property is that production personnel are under time constraints, they need to find the potential location(s) as soon as possible. We have had a number of scouts come to us in dire straits that need locations as soon as the next day and photos are the first ones they search. So the more materials you place on your property the faster they can decide if it will fit their needs.
Photos are the number one way to generate interest in your venue. Make sure your photos are crisp and clear and really represent what you have to offer.
Location scouts and production personnel are seeking locations to fit the needs of the script scenes whether it be a film documentary, television commercial or photo-shoot. Most often than not production personnel are under time constraints and need to acquire the locations as soon as possible.
The project may call for interior rooms, and or exterior shots. Perhaps they need a spooky looking or old abandoned home for a horror film, or a house in the suburbs for a contemporary film. Maybe they will need both. Maybe the script calls for a cabin in the woods, a restaurant or office building.
A full project will call for a number of locations. A small project maybe calls for 20 locales or less. It all depends on the story line.
As the location scouting process proceeds, the scouts will determine what type of location(s) they are looking for, then the search will begin. Another consideration when looking for locations is how much space or area is needed to support the cast, crew and equipment to include parking availability to accommodate vehicles and production equipment.
This is why if you’re offering a location rental you need to provide personnel with as much information about your property as possible.
Regardless if you have a business, home or unique location, the more details in your online profile will assist scouts in deciding if your location fits their needs.
PHOTOS:
When creating your profile it is most import to include as many clear photos as possible documenting the location.
Provide photos of the interior, exterior and any unique aspects. Include a description of the parking availability, the surrounding area, lodging close by and any other details that can help a scout with their job to seek the location venue(s) needed.
Cast and crew on a project can be small (around 4 or 5 people) to 25 or more depending on the scene(s) to be shot as well as the equipment needed.
So when creating your profile, the more information, the better. It makes the scout’s job easier. Creating an informative and appealing profile also increases your chances as the location owner in getting the project. NOTE: FilmLocationsWanted.com does not endorse any production company, it is the sole responsibility of the property location owner to engage all inquiries and negotiate the rates directly with the company who inquires about your property as a result of your online listing.
