• The Location Fee is usually based on the type of production (documentary, advertising, feature film, corporate film etc...) and end-usage (media).

• Location Fees in Paris are expensive due to the demand for spaces for Fashion Shows, Corporate Events etc, so a provision for location fees in your budget is essential.
