Both indoor and outdoor sets, as well as more isolated locations in the real world, are used to shoot various scenes. Whichever alternative can meet the story’s creative requirements while still being cost-effective is the one to go with. It’s important to weigh the following factors when you choose between the two options:
COST:
Getting cast members, crew members, and necessary equipment to far-flung locales and providing them with overnight lodging is a costly endeavor. The downside is that the cost of a specially built studio set may be rather high.
SOUND:
When it comes to sound, indoor studios have you covered, whereas outside settings may be disrupted by vehicle horns, pedestrians, and airplanes, some of which might not even be noticeable on the day of the site scout.
CAMERA:
For internal sequences filmed in a studio, the set’s walls might be “wild,” or easily moved. Because of this, the camera may be moved in ways that would be impossible in a real-life setting.
PERMITS:
A municipal permission and neighbor approval may be necessary for certain off-the-beaten-path locales.
