Filming location






Location shoot for The Black Dahlia, June 2005, on Hollywood Boulevard.


A filming location is a place where some or all of a film or television series is produced, in addition to or instead of using sets constructed on a movie studio backlot or soundstage.[1] In filmmaking, a location is any place where a film crew will be filming actors and recording their dialog. A location where dialog is not recorded may be considered as a second unit photography site. Filmmakers often choose to shoot on location because they believe that greater realism can be achieved in a "real" place; however, location shooting is often motivated by the film's budget. Many films shoot interior scenes on a sound stage and exterior scenes on location.


It is often mistakenly believed that filming "on location" takes place in the actual location in which its story is set, but this is not necessarily the case.
