Get Your Place Chosen as the House for Filming

The glamour and fame of Hollywood might be impossible to achieve, but it could be something that may knock on your doorstep.

You see, becoming a movie actor is not for everyone but if you really like to have a taste of what show business is then you can at least market your home as the next house for filming a movie scene.

But all the fun and excitement will not end there because you can actually get a considerable amount of cash by renting your home to these filmmakers.

How amazing would that be when movie personalities start shooting at your house or property? To announce to your friends that Brad Pitt will be at your residence to shoot his new movie is like telling the world “hey I won the lottery!”

So how do you know if your place has that “house for filming” potential? Here are some checklists for you:

Most location scouts choose those properties that are visible from the street.

Check whether your whole house structure can be properly seen by a spectator standing from the street. Location scouts are busy people and they tend to be very picky, so they will likely neglect a house that does not appeal on them at first glance.

Open floor plans are the common trend in the filming industry.

So be sure to put down a wall if you need to open up the main floor. This is for a reason that a spacious house will also give more room for the actors and the equipment to be brought inside.

Add a splash of colors to your house.

White walls do not always catch the attention of location scouts because they would rather go for those houses that are tastefully painted with some sort of colors. So if you have a white-walled house then it is time to consider a paintjob.

Do not cover any woodwork with paint.

Location scouts are after houses with some kind of character. So be sure to show off those nicely made wood floors or that cabinet with the most exquisite carvings.

Minimize clutter from your house.

It is common for directors to request a location to be totally stripped off so they can place any specific item that they think will work better to represent the character of the film. Now, you do not have to worry about this because everything will be given back to you once the shooting is over.

To sure-fire the chances of getting your house noticed then you can ask your local film commission to display your house’s photo on their website or to at least market your house among location scouts.

Truly, it is possible to have your property picked as the house for filming. So it pays to consider what exactly these location scouts are looking for in a property. Give your house a distinctive character and make sure you market it among different agencies that can work directly with location scouts.
