No Film School Blog- Location

Location & Whether Or Not It Matters 

Location. Does it matter? Is having a good filming location reallyyy all that big of a deal? To be honest I hadn't ever really put much thought into whether to not the location where a film takes place is a big deal or not. I came across the article "Casting Locations: Mark Friedberg on the Role Architecture Plays In 'The Ice Storm.' Friedberg chooses locations that add "a new dimension of storytelling and poetry to film." Friedberg notes that most of us aren't going to remember the location where our favorite film was shot at, but if you think about how different a film can be portrayed if it were filmed at a different the location the whole tone of the movie or short film may be completely changed. So, is having a good filming location really a big deal? Yes! Location can add a specific tone to a film and as a location manager I want to make sure that the tone being portrayed by the surroundings of an actor or actress matches with the vision of the director and producer.
