What is a recce?Recce’s are usually carried out by a location manager before production.

It is a chance to visit and assess the filming location prior to filming. The recce consists of a short report and photographs of the location (key details and filming angles, power points, source of lighting, potential issues).You are the EYES of the Director.

What you are looking for:• Power sources • Lighting (is it suitable?)• Health and safety concerns• Access and availability (do you need to hire/book, do you need a key, is it restricted from the

public, transport details)• Key details (what makes this location special?! Is there an amazing backdrop/angle for a particular

scene)• Sound (Does it echo? Is their noise disruption – traffic, music etc that might effect the recording?)

role? http://brandona2media.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/costume-list.html
