What does a Location Recce report include?

• A. A list of potential cast members.
• B. An ongoing schedule of shooting days.
• C. Observed hazards, resource availability, and suitability for filming.
• D. A budget for the production.

Answer: (C)

A Location Recce report is all about what the site can actually support for filming. It records what’s observed on the ground that could affect the shoot: safety hazards and risks for people on set, what resources are available on site (power, water, toilets, shelter, parking, access for equipment and crew), and whether the space and conditions are suitable for filming (space for cameras and crew, acoustics and noise levels, lighting opportunities, background visuals, and any practical constraints like restricted access times or surrounding traffic). It may also note permits or permissions needed, access routes, and any potential disruptions (weather, road closures, nearby activities). This information helps plan safety measures, logistics, and what Gear or crew changes might be required. The other options belong to different planning areas—casting, the shooting schedule, or the budget—not the location assessment.
