What is the role of a Film Location Agency?
Film Location Agency, Film Location Library, Film Location Company, these are some of the common names that are used to refer to Film Location Agencies.
Film Production Companies and Photographers use film location agencies when they need to find the perfect location for their next shoot. The Location Partnership library has thousands of film locations, in many diverse categories, that can be easily searched by genres and styles on our website.
Once a production has found the right location, then we will professionally manage the communication between the Film Companies and the Location Owners, including drawing up the filming contracts and making sure that fees are paid and insurances are in place.
Do I need a Film Location Agency or a Location Manager?
Location Scouts and Location Mangers are often used on films, commercials and stills shoots. Their initial role is to find the ideal locations for the shoot and they often use film location libraries to help in this search, as well as sorting out many of the practicalities of filming on location. The location manager may also be on location, managing the location filming on the prep and shoot days.
Film Location agencies contain photographic reference to thousands of properties including houses, industrial buildings, farms, castles and apartments to name but a few. The agency will check the availability and suitability of locations for a shoot, arrange recces and sort out contracts.
