Let me share with you something that happened to me just a couple of days ago
.
I was contacted by a guy named David. He had just purchased a panasonic pv-gs400 3 ccd camcorder and has always been attracted to the videographers lifestyle. He also liked the possibility of earning an extra income doing something that could be
a whole lot of fun.
From speaking to David I discovered that he didnt have much knowledge with camcorders and was unsure as to whether he would be any great (he seemed to lack a bit of self confidence), but was atleast willing to learn and have a go.
He wasnt too far from where I live me so I said I was able to get in the car and have a personal meeting with him.
One of his questions to me on the phone was "what should I film?" I told him of the traditional markets - Weddings, Business videos Training videos. Good areas to get started in and the most apparent subjects to film.
David lives in a growth area, outer suburbs continually building and expanding. I found myself driving past new homes being built, young families together in parks, sporting fields and large shopping malls.
Then it dawned on me! It was so apparent the potential subjects, and clients, David had in his own backyard!
