Checklist Shooting

The MDM Film Commission has made a checklist for all partners of the film business in Mitteldeutschland. Location owners and those in charge of granting filming permits figure prominently among these partners. Please note that, while we applied due care in gathering the information, the list is not exhaustive and its accuracy can not be guaranteed.

General Information

Filmmaking involves an enormous personal and financial effort. If you agree to have a feature film made on your premises, expect a team of about 35 people. Other shootings require up to 100 people working on the set. Apart from the actual actors, many productions require a varying number of extras. A lot of space is taken up by the camera and lighting equipment in order to make shooting from different angles possible. As far as vehicles are concerned, at least 120 square meters of parking space should be provided, as you must expect catering cars as well as make-up and wardrobe caravans, apart from the other production vehicles and containers or tents. Even parking space for buses must occasionally be taken into account. The production staff prepares a meticulous concept for each shooting, even if it doesn't always seem that way to a bystander. If you want to find out information about the person calling you about a location, visit the website of the Bundesverband Produktion e.V. for a German-language job description of film-related professions such as line producer, producer, associate producer, location manager, production assistant, production coordinator, and production manager. In addition, a production designer or another member of the art department, e.g. a location scout, could also contact you. For the corresponding English-language information go to this page.
