Pre-Production: Try to book flat rate locations

When possible shoot your film in a location that does not charge by the hour. Behind overtime to the crew this is the second fastest way to tank your production. An unexpected thing will always happen on a shoot and “being on the clock” is a guaranteed way to unnecessarily increase "on set "pressure, forcing you to delete shots and sometime even scenes from your script. This is another case where you need to inspect things like furniture, floors, walls, and write down and point out any broken, scratched or damaged items to the location manager so that you are not charged for the item after the shoot. The trick that location owners use is they wait until almost all the crew has left then they find the producer and tell him or her that the item was broke or damaged during the shoot. With almost no one to ask about the incident in person there is not much left for the producer to do but take the owner word for it. Keep an eye out for wet, muddy, or soiled entrances. A common trick that a location owner will use to get a “free” carpet cleaning is to wet down, mud up or soil the entrance of their location knowing that most crew will forget to wipe their shoes at the door tracking whatever dirt, mud, and even oil all over the carpet.
