on-location
Filmed somewhere real
On-location describes filming or recording that takes place at a real site rather than in a studio: The crew spent three weeks shooting on-location in Morocco.
The term distinguishes authentic settings from constructed sets, often implying greater production complexity but also greater realism.
Television news uses the term for reporters broadcasting from where events are happening.
