Train to scout and manage the perfect location for your productions. This course - created due to industry demand - is designed to thoroughly train you in Location Management, and all the vital roles that lie within it.
Course Outline
The Locations Department consists of three primary roles: Location Manager, Assistant Location Manager and Location Scout. They work closely with directors, producers, cinematographers, assistant directors and designers, providing all the information and support necessary for a successful location shoot from initial brief, finding ideal locations for the shoot, negotiating fees, terms and conditions as well as managing locations during the production and filming periods to wrap and reinstatement.
We’ll ensure that you leave the course with all the relevant practical experience - including working with the latest on-set COVID protocols - and some valuable contacts for starting out in the professional world.
What You'll Study
Alongside practical workshops and on-set/location experience, the curriculum delivers seminars and workshops on all aspects of the job and across different genres of filmmaking, guest speakers and site visits to location companies, shoots and relevant authorities. It also includes vital Health and Safety instruction, leading to the industry-recognised Production Safety Passport.
Entry Requirements
We are looking for people who are enthusiastic, keen to work hard as part of a team and quick to learn. You should have a good general education, but no there are no other specific educational requirements. Previous experience working in the film or television industry would be an advantage, or knowledge gained from an alternative production activity, for example, a college media course project.
