A filming location is a place where some or all of a film or television series is produced, in addition to or instead of using sets constructed on a movie studio backlot or soundstage.[1] In filmmaking, a location is any place where a film crew will be filming actors and recording their dialog. A location where dialog is not recorded may be considered a second unit photography site[citation needed]. Filmmakers often choose [citation needed]to shoot on location because they believe that greater realism can be achieved in a "real" place; however, location shooting is often[citation needed] motivated by the film's budget. Many films shoot interior scenes on a sound stage and exterior scenes on location.
