A recce, short for reconnaissance, is a pre-production visit to a location by key members of the crew, such as the producer and director of photography, to assess its suitability for filming and plan logistics such as lighting, sound, and camera setups. During the recce, the crew will also identify any potential challenges or issues that may arise during the shoot and come up with solutions to address them. This helps to ensure that the shoot runs smoothly and efficiently, and minimizes any unexpected delays or problems that could affect the final product.
