Location professionals, advertising agencies, film/television film production services companies, photographers, companies and corporations amongst others, want to source locations for many reasons and the demand across the UK is growing at a rate that has never been seen before. Some factors that photographic location management influence filming decisions are an increase in government funding, filming on location is generally cheaper than building a set in a studio, and films such as the Oscar winning Shakespeare In Love, The Full Monty, Lock, Stock and film location services Two Smoking Barrels and Notting Hill have all been filmed in the UK.
The UK Corporate Entertainment Market has also seen rapid growth and is now a £700 million annual Industry, with companies looking for an increasingly diverse range of venues up and down the location scouts country to host business, corporate, hospitality, location research incentive, product and reception activities.
Wide ranges of British venues from Historic Homes, location research Museums and Gardens to Restaurants and Shops, Theatres and Nightclubs have all benefited financially from the resurgence of the British Location Industry. In addition to the immediate benefits, there can be long-term gains, for example The Crown Hotel used in Four weddings and a Funeral has long been booked well into photographic location management the next millenium. The advent of digital television means that there are more channels on offer and therefore more locations will be needed to cope with demand.
I find a choice of locations which film location services fit the requirements of the script, budget and geographical limits, for the director to choose from. These are photographed from all angles and then mounted on presentation boards, posted on this web site or e-mailed direct to your production office in .jpg format. Once the locations have been selected by the director, normally after at least one technical recce with the director and DoP, I negotiate film locations location fees, arrange access, permissions, contracts, film production services security, liaise with local councils, police and residents, provide movement orders and maps for the unit so all the production company has to do is turn up at the location on the day and concentrate on shooting the film! While the crew are on a location I am on site from the moment location scouts the first crew member arrives photographic location management until the last has left to oversee safety, parking, security and deal with those little problems that crop up on the day. Most of my clients are independent production companies based in the UK and abroad shooting commercials in the UK as well as corporate / music videos and stills photographers.
