Location library

A ___location library or ___location archive is a collection of visual and references information, usually organized by a serial numbering system, descriptive keywords, geographic ___location (or more often than not a combination of the aforementioned) of locations, or places that might be used for filming or photography.

A ___location library can offer many services, including contracts to the production company and to the ___location owner or agent as well as ___location scouting services. If one requires a ___location with certain criteria that are not included in the library, then the library can, usually for a fee, provide a ___location scout who will travel around a given area (usually chosen for its geographic ___location, near enough to the production company to keep shoot costs down) and find a ___location that not only fits a brief supplied by the production company but also fits the budget for the shoot.

A ___location library may carry locations of many types including commercial property as well as residential properties and usually, they are able to help organise a shoot in almost any ___location, on their library or not.

Not only can a ___location library find the ___location for a shoot, but it can help with permits for parking and filming.

Location libraries are not just a ___location resource for TV and film, they are also a database of photogenic ___location houses, apartments, industrial and event spaces for editorial publications, stills advertising photo shoots and PR shots for brands and celebrities.

Property owners can register their properties with a ___location library to be considered as locations for commercial hire. Requirements for any ___location are that it has good-sized rooms, large enough to comfortably fit a photographic crew of around 10–15 people, natural light, interesting features, décor, style of property and furniture will play a role in a property being eligible as a ___location property. Location owners are paid for the use of their property. A photoshoot will pay between £500 and £1000 per day and film in excess of £1200 (rates as of 2014). ^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]}
