Filming Locations You Have Never Heard Of

 

Most people think of Los Angeles as the center of the big budget film blockbuster world, but the technology and know-how that it takes to make an epic movie has spread out across the planet. There are many unexpected places that host large film industries. From Morocco to Mexico, Hollywood is everywhere.

Unusual Filming Locations

Morocco

Although any nation you name has had a film produced there and every city in the world has at least one movie set in it, there are a few places that boast major movie studios that you would never expect. For example, Morocco is a filming hotspot that appears in many famous blockbuster films. The north coast of Africa was “discovered” by producers in the 1960s and 1970s, when it played home to such major productions as “Lawrence of Arabia” and “Patton.” In the last twenty years that Morocco has really come into its own. Fantasy and adventure films are especially prevalent in Moroccan film, but the desert country often serves as a stand-in for Iraq or other arid locations. “The Mummy,” “Gladiator,” “Inception,” and large portions of “Game of Thrones” were all filmed in Morocco. So many movies shoot there that the most popular locations have amassed their own collection of props and equipment.

Morocco Filming Locations

 

Baja, Mexico

It is not only large locations that are unknown to the filmgoing public. There are entire studios of which most people are unaware. For example, there is an enormous studio complex in Baja California that most people have never heard of. Built in 1996, the first major production at Fox Baja Studios was the megahit Titanic. Easy access to the ocean gave the sparkling sunsets that are part of so many movies and enough water to fill the largest “horizon tanks” in the world. So called because they simulate the empty horizons of the open ocean, horizon tanks are a necessary part of nearly every naval spectacle. “Master and Commander,” “Pearl Harbor,” and many other epics were filmed at Fox Baja Studios, only a hundred kilometers south of Los Angeles across the Mexican border.

China

The single biggest movie studio in the world is much further from Hollywood. Hengdian World Studios is located in the Zhejiang Province of China. Filling more than three hundred hectares, Hengdian has the superlative example of nearly everything needed by the Chinese film industry. The biggest indoor studio in the world, the largest indoor statue of the Buddha, and the only full scale reconstruction of the Forbidden City can all be found at Hengdian. Its thirteen lots can host more than thirty productions at the same time and provide employment for everyone that lives in the area. It is rare that a studio can host even one historical reproduction, but Hengdian habitually recreates the full army movements and astounding pageantry of the past on multiple stages at the same time.

China Filming locations

The audience thinks of film as fantasy, but there is more to it than that. In order to create an image on a movie screen, the directors and crew must create the reality of that image, even if only for a second. It does not have to be very real, and it only has to look real from one angle, but there must be that essential moment of reality there or there is nothing for the camera to film. Costumes, makeup, lighting, and more are used to create just enough veracity to shoot the scene.

Fantastic filming locations are one of the most powerful tools in the director’s toolkit. Whether it is the windswept desert of Morocco, the endless illusory horizons of the water tanks in Baja California, or the magnificent recreations of the past in Hengdian, movies use real locations create the reality that they wish us to perceive. The great film locations of the world are of equal importance to cinema as any character or story.

Popular filming locations in London and Stunning private filming locations

 

SHOOTFACTORY location library supplies the film industry with the best filming locations in the UK and overseas.

The skyline of London features in many television programmes and films and is widely recognised the world over. There are numerous landmarks and forms of architecture to draw the eye of filmmakers, advertisers and TV producers and nearly endless filming opportunities to present a certain mood or feeling. The most popular filming locations, and their requirements, are explained below.

 

Popular filming locations in London

Filming on Street
London streets can provide a dramatic backdrop to any production. In some cases, it may be necessary to obtain permission from the Borough Film Service in a particular location. While filming on the street is free of charge, the BFS may assess a fee and Council charges may apply.

London filming street location

Buckingham Palace
Buckingham Palace has served as the London home of the royal family since the early 19th century and is the primary residence of the Queen. While filming is largely restricted, the privilege is usually granted to documentary projects. Interested parties should enquire as far ahead of time as possible.

Houses of Parliament and Big Ben
Big Ben is the 320-foot clock tower that can seen at the northwestern side of the Houses of Parliament. The bell inside was created in the year 1858 and remains one of the biggest ever cast by Whitechapel Bell Foundry. The official name for Big Ben is Clock Tower of the Palace of Westminster, which remains one of the most iconic landmarks in London.

London houses of parliament filming location

Bridges of London
While London Bridge itself has existed in one form or another for two millenia, the Tower Bridge is also quite well known due to its proximity to the Tower of London. Filming on the Tower Bridge is overseen by the City of London, with other bridges controlled by the Traffic Authority.

Piccadilly Circus
Piccadilly Circus is the point at which five large, busy streets come to a culmination point. Its distinctive facades and bright advertising displays make it one of the city’s most recognisable locations. The name is derived from the word “piccadil”, which was a popular 17th century collar type, with the word “circus” describing the large roundabout that links the streets together. Permission to film at this location requires a Filming Application form and a request to the Special Events and Filming team in Westminster.

London Transport
London’s tranportation system offers many unique filming opportunities. The Underground, or tube, as it is locally known, has several stations that allow for extended filming, including Charing Cross, Earl’s Court and Aldwych. The different railways and the airport have their own governing bodies that must be contacted about filming. Transport for London should be contacted in regards to filming on certain roads that may carry restrictions.

River Thames
Any filming done on the River Thames between Teddington Lock and the ocean requires licence and permission from the Port of London Authority. Boats require the presence of a Thames Waterman and fees will be assessed regardless if the film crew is on land.

Royal Parks
London’s royal parks, which include St. James, Hyde, Kensington Gardens, The Regents and the Green Park among others, are colorful and easily accessible filming locations. Royal Parks are supportive of film projects and offer unrestricted access as long it done in a respectful manner. Fees are dependent on the size of the crew and the amount of public disruption the production will incur.

London royal parks filming locations

London Eye
The London Eye has graced the city’s skyline for 13 years. It is the world’s most sizeable observation wheel, standing at 135 metres in height and weighing in at 2,100 tonnes. Its 32 capsules are enclosed glass, and it take one half-hour to complete a turn. The site is closed at Christmas and in the month of January for maintenance reasons. While the London Eye is very film-friendly, permission is required from its press office.

London is a bustling, modern city filled with many wonders. There is something to catch the eye of every filmmaker.

Indoor Photo Shoot location tips – Low Light Shooting

 

Taking photographs in nightclubs, restaurants,  parties and other such venues has become very popular among photographers looking to add some ambience to their work. Like most photographic techniques, it’s a strategy that can yield beautiful pictures when it works out. Unfortunately, that can be very difficult. As wonderful as the ambience is in these types of low light  locations, they tend to rely on low light to maintain that ambience. This obviously doesn’t lend itself well to photography, but with the right equipment and techniques it is entirely possible to shoot gorgeous indoor photos in low light conditions.

As London’s leading location agency, we have provided some tips to help you, the photographer get to grips with indoor shooting in low light. SHOOTFACTORY has extensive experience of location management and production overseas. We source photo shoot locations, accommodation, drivers and more for Laura Ashley in Italy. Following on from this work, we have experience with music videos, catalogue and interiors shoots in Spain, Morocco and France.

We aim to support photo shoots, film and television productions shooting in and out of London and as a result, promote England as a fantastic place to shoot and film. England offers some of the very best filming locations, crew, facilities and studios in the world – we can help your production to find and access them, and can liaise with local authorities on your behalf to ensure your shoot goes smoothly.

Indoor Photo Shoot  tips for Low Light Locations

low light photo shoot location tips

Left in the Dark

When left in auto or default mode, most cameras will produce enough light with a flash and focus on the subject of a photograph when used indoors to take a clear picture. The only problem with this is that it may not produce the image that you want. The subject will appear to be “washed out” with bright highlights and dark shadows. Meanwhile, the background of the image will be too dark, effectively eliminating any effect you wanted the ambience of the locale to provide. In the end, what you will have is an amateurish photograph that not only will be very unflattering to your subject, but one that looks like it could’ve been taken anywhere.

The problem with taking photos in low-light situations is that the foreground and the background require different exposures for both of them to come out clearly. Exposing just for the background will cause your foreground – the subject of your photo – to be too blurry. Exposing for the foreground will only cause the background to be too dark. Most cameras automatically expose the foreground, which is why the auto mode of a camera is not recommended for this kind of photography.

Photography enthusiasts will know that it’s impossible to change the ISO and aperture of a camera during a single exposure, but this issue can be overcome by using a flash in second curtain sync mode. This technique is the closest thing to using two different shutter speeds to take a single photograph.

A flash in second curtain mode is also known as a “rear curtain sync,” and it can be created with a combination of a DSLR body, a fast lens and a hotshoe flash. It is recommended that you use an external flash that can be tilted and swiveled on the camera’s body since it will yield sharper images and more professional results overall. Some photographers also like to use a diffusor for their flash to keep shadows from appearing too dark.

indoor low light photoshoot

Setting Up for Ambient Light

When taking photographs in nightclubs or restaurants, chances are that you won’t have a lot of control over the ambient light in the venue. As we said before, the light will most likely be very dim, a condition that often adds to the atmosphere of such locations. To maximize the light available to you, you should first open your lens aperture and choose a staring ISO of 200 or 400. From there, adjust your shutter speed until you can expose enough ambient light to capture the background as well as foreground. Once you’re satisfied with your background exposure, lock in your settings and don’t change them unless you absolutely need to.

Once you have your camera set up to accurately capture the ambient light of the location, it’s time to shift your focus on the foreground. Fortunately, this is pretty automatic for most cameras. Trust your camera’s meter and TTL to capture your subject as a sharp, clear image, set your flash for a second curtain sync mode and take the picture. As we said before, you might also want to use a diffusor to eliminate harsh shadows or red eye. In any case, this is the time to experiment with your surroundings, so don’t be afraid to try a few different angles to see what works best.

photo shoot location in low light

Taking photographs in low light conditions can be a challenge to any photographer, but with the right equipment and the right settings, it is very possible to take stunning pictures even in the darkest venues. Ambience can add a lot to a photograph, so it’s in your best interest to capture that ambience. Be creative, and good luck.
