What does a professional location scout do?

Location scouting is a very important process when it comes to filmmaking. Location scouts start searching for locations that are suitable after directors have decided what kind of scenery they need in their film. Searching for locations might seem like an easy job, but actually, professional location scouts have to consider a lot of factors, such as weather conditions, costs and lighting. They also need to ask for permission for access from the owners of the locations.
