film location
Where scenes happen
A film location is a place outside a studio where movie or television scenes are shot.
Productions choose locations for authenticity, visual interest, or cost savings: The movie was filmed on location in Morocco.
Famous film locations often become tourist attractions.
Location scouts find and secure these sites before production begins.
