The National Holocaust Monument in Ottawa was recently used as the location for a video photoshoot featuring fashions and bathing suits. This got blooper attention. It isn't that there is a lack of advice on location mistakes. There is lots of advice on scouting filmmaking locations. Video production mistakes abound in numbers - you can make at least 7, 10, 11, or 12 just on the first page of retrievals. It is so widespread across the internet that you can't imagine that people could make bloopers like this.
The opposite is also true. That is, filming locations used over and over. Here's an article on locations that have been used multiple times for movies - HERE. Poor Torrence High School in Los Angeles has been in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Beverly Hills 90210, She's All That, and more teen movies. The University of Toronto campus is persistently under camera lights.
And then there are locations that are promoted as tourist sites: "31 iconic filming locations in the world you can visit."
"If you were to walk down the streets of coastal city Dubrovnik, Croatia, you'd immediately recognize the cobblestone roads and gothic architecture as King's Landing, aka the capital of the Seven Kingdoms in Game of Thrones. If you want to snap some selfies in particularly iconic spots, head to the Old Town neighborhood or the Walls of Dubrovnik, where members of the Lannister family spent much of the series brooding."
The National Holocaust Monument had its own problems when it opened. The memorial plaque failed to acknowledge that it was a Jewish atrocity. That blooper got a lot of attention.
