A location recce is a pre-filming visit to a location to work out its suitability for shooting, including access to necessary facilities and assessment of any potential lighting or sound issues, and is closely related to location scouting. This process of scouting a location to find out if it is suitable is essential to a films success because it provides early knowledge of how the scenes will be portrayed or if the location is worth being filmed at. This insight into the film is invaluable and can provide comfortability for all individuals involved in the film.
