location shoot
Off-studio production
A location shoot is film or television production work done outside the studio, at a real-world site chosen for its authentic look or atmosphere.
Directors opt for location shoots when sets can't replicate what an actual street, building, or landscape provides.
The term emphasizes that cast and crew must travel to the place rather than construct it.
The location shoot in Morocco added two weeks to the schedule.
