Recce

Recce (pronounced "recky") is a word used in media production, derived from reconnaissance (by shortening) . When it appeared in an essay Richard wrote for his degree I was about to suggest it was a slang term but apparently it is “a pre-filming visit to a location to work out its suitability for shooting, including access to necessary facilities and assessment of any potential lighting or sound issues“.
