Location scout in practice
The location manager or scout looks for places that match the script, then checks the practical side: permission from the owner, power, noise, light during the day, parking for trucks, space for the crew, and the cost. Photos and notes from each visit are shared with the director and the producer, who choose.
The word also names the person who does this work.
