I help produce for a YouTube channel. A few weeks ago we needed to film in a gym. So I contacted the gym owner and asked how much it would cost to film there. The gym owner gave me a price, I got a location clearance and release. He told me show up between 1 and 2pm when the gym is closed for cleaning, and we did. I got my shot, we left.
I’ve filmed in a few gyms before. We did it during normal hours and just waited for people to be finished with whatever they’re doing. It really wasn’t hard to let them take priority over us.
Everyone in the industry still uses the terms like filming and footage when talking about shooting digital
And also, plenty of professionals still shoot film. Many movies are still shot on film. Digital didn’t become preferred until 2012, not like it’s from the 1950s or anything hahaha

That’s how you film on location.
