Amateur Photographers Scout Locations for Independent Media Productions

Directors of Independent Film, Television, and Print Photo Shoots See Benefits to Using Amateur Photographers for Location Scouting -

Location scouts serve a vital role in media and entertainment productions. They identify venues for movie scenes, television shows, commercials, magazine spreads, and print advertisements. For major motion pictures and other media projects with large budgets, location scouting is performed by trained professionals. However, independent films and other lower budget productions cannot always afford the union wages of a professional location scout.

For these independent productions, location scouting may be performed by the director himself. Several venues in different cities may be under consideration for a particular scene of a film or as the background for a photo shoot. And, when the budget is tight, the director may not wish to spend the time and money to visit each of the potential sites.

In this situation, the director may find it useful to hire amateur photographers who live near each of the candidate locations. The images provided by each of the photographers can help the director to narrow the list of potential filming venues. Another situation where a local amateur photographer may assist is when the director has already chosen a particular location and he simply needs to confirm that the condition of the site has not changed since his last visit.

In the past, the challenge for a director may have been to find a willing photographer near each of the potential filming locations. However, that is no longer a problem because a new service called GoSee4Me (http://www.GoSee4Me.com) enables directors to find amateur photographers anywhere around the world who have expressed an interest in performing this type of work.

An image of any object, structure, or physical location can be obtained inexpensively from GoSee4Me because their amateur photographers bid against each other to provide the photos, which drives the price down to an affordable level. Directors can use the service as needed because GoSee4Me operates on a pay-per-use basis rather than by subscription.
