In the next step, the location is prepared for the arrival of the departments. The mobile infrastructure is arranged at the base and connected to electricity and water. This area around the base will also include parking areas for vehicles not directly involved in shooting. This is the focal point of the filming location, it is where everyone will congregate, rest and work. Drivers arrive and depart here, actors are prepared by the make up and costume departments and the extras will kill time here between scenes.

This will be the first point of contact for crew looking for information and updates about the production. It is also the interface for communication between the location and the outside world. Once built, it will not move. If the shoot is taking place in a studio, the base area will still be prepared accordingly, even if in this case it will be directly beside the set.
