References for "Location Shooting" from Film Literature Index, 1973 and 1974

"Scenario for an 'NG'; or what every young filmmaker should know about locations but was afraid to ask." BUSINESS SCREEN 34: 24-25, Jan-Feb 1973.

"Arriflex 35 BC Makes Production Debut in Across 110th St." AM CIN 54(5), August 1972, 876-877.

"Question of the Month: What sort of difficulties did you encounter while shooting abroad and how did you surmount them?" J. Newby and others. MILLIMETER 2:32-3, Nov. 1974.

Film LIT index also references a publication titled "Making Films in New York" - possibly put out by the Mayor's Office? The Jerome Hill Archives at the Anthology Film Archives in New York appears to have editions of this for 1967 and 1972 - no mention of 1974.

Michael Winner, interviewed in Millimeter, Feb. 1975, discusses the speed and efficiency of his shooting schedule:

"Another factor in the speed of production is my shooting exclusively on location. I always do, never in a studio. Life is lived in real places, and I shoot in real places." (From Voices of Film Experience, Leyda ed., 510)

Is it true that location can lend speed to production? Roizman disagrees in his interview in Masters of Light and in the very same volume of this magazine! 

"Most people today think you can save a lot of time and money shooting on actual locations... it's become a vogue to get that 'real look,' but there are times when a studio-built set can save you. You can work faster and over many more set-ups per day." 

Earlier in the Winner interview, he claims the ability too shoot more setups per day than most directors. 

Must track down this issue.
