Here&#8217;s a few tips for getting better shots when your location is less than ideal.<\/h2>\n<p>In a perfect world we would all be able to shoot in whatever location we want and control every aspect of the filmmaking process. Unfortunately we don&#8217;t live in a perfect world.<\/p>\n<p>Unless you are working on a big-budget shoot you are likely going to have to shoot in some less-than-ideal circumstances. Thankfully there are a few things you can do to help make a bad location better. Follow these\u00a0<strong>10 tips for getting the most out of every\u00a0location.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"1-show-up-early-and-make-a-plan\">1. Show up Early and Make a Plan<\/h3>\n<p>While you should always make it a point to show up early for your productions, it is especially important if you are shooting in a &#8216;bad&#8217;\u00a0location. By showing up early you can create a plan of attack for how you are going to deal with the various obstacles keeping you from getting great video. This is an easy one. Moving on&#8230;<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"2-set-expectations-with-clients\">2. Set Expectations with Clients<\/h3>\n<p>Clients are often clueless when it comes to selecting a good location for shooting video. Don\u2019t assume that they know what makes a location good or bad. If your client is insisting on shooting in a specific location let them know possible pain points that may be associated with that locale. Setting these expectations will help to minimize surprises once you\u2019re in the editing bay.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"3-moving-blankets\">3. Moving Blankets<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/pbblogassets.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Moving-Blankets.jpg\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-50127\" src=\"https:\/\/pbblogassets.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Moving-Blankets.jpg\" alt=\"Moving Blankets\" width=\"762\" height=\"282\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Moving-Blankets.jpg 762w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Moving-Blankets.jpg?resize=300,111 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Moving-Blankets.jpg?resize=277,103 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Moving-Blankets.jpg?resize=359,133 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Moving-Blankets.jpg?resize=543,201 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Moving-Blankets.jpg?resize=560,207 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Moving-Blankets.jpg?resize=150,56 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 762px) 100vw, 762px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Sound is normally the biggest obstacle to overcome in a challenging location. It&#8217;s always best to seek out locations\u00a0away from roads, crowds, and airports. However,\u00a0if you simply must shoot in a specific location, one tool you can use to dampen echo and outside noise is a moving blanket. The coarse,\u00a0thick material is perfect for mounting on walls, covering windows, or simply laying on a concrete floor. Unlike acoustic foam, moving blankets tend to be very affordable and versatile. I highly recommend getting some for your next production.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"4-know-the-schedule-move-the-shooting-time\">4. Know the Schedule\/Move the Shooting Time<\/h3>\n<p>You\u2019ve been here before&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>You begin shooting an interview only to be interrupted by people making noise and constantly walking onto your set. This all-too-common problem can be incredibly annoying, especially if you are on a time-crunch. \u00a0Let your clients know that you will need time and space away from people. Typically this means shooting in the evening.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"5-white-balance-for-blue-orange-and-green-magenta\">5.

Florescent lights are bad for\u00a0multiple reasons including buzzing, flickering, and strangely tinted light. If you simply must shoot with florescent lights you will likely find your footage more green than normal. On most cameras you can adjust your white balance from blue to orange, but this will not effect the green tint found with fluorescents. On most high-end cameras you can white balance to adjust for blue, orange, green, and magenta deep in the menu. Make sure to adjust both settings if you want an ideal white balance in florescent lighting.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"6-filters\">6. Filters<\/h3>\n<p>In day-to-day life, mixed lighting isn\u2019t that big of a deal, but when it comes to shooting video it can be a nightmare. Instead of trying to work with different color temperatures try using colored filters. By filtering your lights can make your video easier to color correct in post. Filters come in all sizes but I&#8217;d personally recommend getting a large roll of orange, blue, magenta, and ND filters. This way you can cut them to certain sizes as needed.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"7-bring-more-lenses\">7. Bring More Lenses<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/pbblogassets.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Camera-Lenses.jpg\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-50129\" src=\"https:\/\/pbblogassets.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Camera-Lenses.jpg\" alt=\"Camera Lenses\" width=\"762\" height=\"234\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Camera-Lenses.jpg 762w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Camera-Lenses.jpg?resize=300,92 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Camera-Lenses.jpg?resize=277,85 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Camera-Lenses.jpg?resize=359,110 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Camera-Lenses.jpg?resize=543,167 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Camera-Lenses.jpg?resize=560,172 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Camera-Lenses.jpg?resize=150,46 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 762px) 100vw, 762px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>One of the best ways to stay flexible on-set is to have an arsenal of lenses at a variety of focal lengths. Narrative films are typically shot on prime lenses, but if you are shooting a corporate video you can normally get away with shooting on a good zoom lens. I typically pack a 24-70mm and a 70-200mm lens. This allows me to stay versatile in less-than-ideal circumstances.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"8-know-whats-important\">8.\u00a0Know What&#8217;s Important<\/h3>\n<p>A video shoot is full of choices and compromises. It\u2019s important for you to know the difference between what\u2019s important and what&#8217;s\u00a0not and to discern each in the moment. There&#8217;s nothing wrong with wanting to make your finished product as nice-as-possible, but knowing when to draw the line is important for you as a director\/producer. When you&#8217;re in a time crunch &#8211; and who isn&#8217;t on a film\/video production &#8211; sped\u00a0the time fixing things on set that you simply can&#8217;t correct in\u00a0post.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Know of any other tips for shooting in a bad location?<\/strong> Share in the comments below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stuck with a bad location?
