Film companies require many locations from the grandest of castles to the humblest of bedsits. Be it historic, period, modern or futuristic, they will require all at one time or another.
There are two basic reasons.
First, it pays well. Renting out your home for a half day photo-shoot would pay £500+ while a film company would net you between £1500 and £5,000 per day. More for a large property.
Fees for businesses such as hotels, restaurants, cafes and bars would be much more. Loss of business, staff wages and any costs incurred would have to be added.
The second reason will also benefit businesses. Why would a potential customer go down the road to your competitor when he or she could stay, dine, or drink in the very hotel, restaurant or bar used in a major film or TV drama?
“I will have the same table as Brad Pitt, please.”
Travel companies are now organising tours around the locations of some of the most popular productions such as Outlander, Game of Thrones, and the Outlaw King to name a few.
