Location scouting is an important pre-production process where locations are searched for and evaluated based on script requirements. This document discusses the scouting of three potential locations - a shed and two houses - for suitability in a film production. The first shed was rundown but had a small interior, while the second looked menacing but had items blocking the interior. A third modern shed was too repaired. The discussed house was large enough and had accessible rooms, but some planned scenes like climbing through a window would not be possible.

Location Scouting is a vital stage is pre-production filmmaking where suitable locations are searched for that fit the criteria of a scene as defined by scriptwriters, director or producers.
T H E S H E D ? The shed plays a major role in our trailer as it¡¯s where the protagonists discover the items that kickstart the story ? The shed was required to look old and used, as though nature was taking over ? This particular shed was a good fit as it looked rundown and nature was definitely beginning to consume it ? Unfortunately, the inside of the shed was rather small and would be difficult to film in
T H E S H E D ? The shed plays a major role in our trailer as it¡¯s where the protagonists discover the items that kickstart the story ? This particular shed looked rather menacing and included the windows we required for our character to see through ? The interior was large and there were items and furniture we could use ? Unfortunately, some items within looked difficult to move and would likely decrease efficiency as we¡¯d spend time moving them around
T H E S H E D ? This particular shed, at another location, was too modern and repaired for our needs ? Whilst it had a window, the interior was rather small and was packed with garden items, so much so that it would be very difficult to film inside
T H E H O U S E ? The house we required needed to be large enough to fit our group, but also meet our specifications of being rather modest. ? The house is accessible to us and allows us to use a variety of rooms which we would potentially be able to pull off certain scenes ? However, some of our planned actions are not possible here, such as the protagonists climbing through a window to escape
