Whether you own a basement flat in London or a manor house in the country, these essential tips for preparing your property for photo shoots, TV, and film productions will help ensure a smooth and successful experience.
1. Clean and Tidy Ensure your property is spotless and clutter-free. Store away personal belongings and hide any items that might detract from the shoot, such as piles of ironing or personal photographs. A clean and organised space allows the production team to focus on their work without distractions.
2. Provide Refreshments Offering teas, coffees, and light refreshments to the crew can go a long way in making them feel welcome and comfortable. A hospitable environment sets a positive tone for the shoot and can lead to better results.
3. Protect Your Belongings Cover any valuable or delicate items with protective material to prevent damage or stains. The production team can easily remove these covers when necessary. This simple step can save you from headaches and keep your belongings safe.
4. Understand the Requirements Clarify which areas of your home will be used and what activities will occur there. Communicate with your location agent to get detailed information about the shoot. Understanding the specifics can help alleviate anxiety and ensure you are fully prepared.
5. Share Your Contact Information Provide the production team with your mobile number so they can easily reach you if they need assistance or cannot find something. Being accessible and responsive can help address any issues promptly and keep the shoot on track.
Hosting a shoot at your location can be an exciting and rewarding experience. Following these tips can help ensure everything runs smoothly and enjoy the unique opportunity to see your property in the spotlight.
Have a great shoot, and enjoy the world of location work!
