What does a location manager do?

In the film industry, a location manager handles procuring the set and location for TV or movie filming. Your responsibilities in this career include collaborating with production companies and advertising agencies, developing solutions for problems that arise before and during shooting, finding the ideal location for different scenes, allocating funds and presenting a budget for filming related expenses, preparing negotiations to film in a specific area, and supporting the crew during filming. Your duties also require you to obtain any legal rights or permits before the shoot, inform residents of the set area, and minimize potential conflict.
