Location shooting is the shooting of a film or television production in a real-world setting rather than a sound stage or backlot. The location may be interior or exterior.

Location shooting includes any practical location which resembles the location of a scene in the script; for example, students in the USC School of Cinematic Arts, film school of the University of ...
