Director
Creative or operational relevance to directing
A database of locations: photos, contacts, rates, and notes from previous shoots. The reason an experienced location department works faster.
The Location Library collects what has been found: photos, addresses, contacts, negotiated conditions — and experiences. Whether the owner was easy to deal with, how loud the street really is, whether the power was sufficient.
Why the last part is the most valuable
Photos can also be found in databases. The information that the neighbor calls the police at ten p.m. at a certain location is nowhere to be found — except in the archive of those who have already shot there.
Practical
- Sorted by location type and region, not by production.
- With date: A location from five years ago may have been renovated, sold, or demolished.
- Observe data protection — contact details of private owners are personal data and require a basis for storage.
