I brought "equipment" to take pictures on the Binjiang River in Shanghai but was stopped by security: Do I need to "report" in advance?
Citizen Mr. Liu recently left a message to Liberation Daily and Shangguan News, saying that in mid-September this year, he accompanied four friends to the riverside viewing platform in the North Bund section of Hongkou to take portrait photos. The group and three photographers totaled eight people. . Since they were shooting at night, they also brought more professional equipment, including lighting lights with power of 30 watts and 40 watts respectively. Unexpectedly, as soon as the filming started, he was stopped by the on-site security guard. The security guard judged that Mr. Liu's behavior was obviously a "commercial shooting" and said that according to regulations, he needed to report first, so the filming on that day could not continue.
Afterwards, Mr. Liu believed that although the formation looked relatively large, they were indeed not a fee-charging studio. They were just simple photography enthusiasts, and the shooting was not a commercial activity. He asked: When Binjiang manages similar shooting behaviors, how does it define whether it is a commercial shooting behavior or a shooting behavior by ordinary citizens? What should I do if I need to report in advance?
Question: How does Binjiang in Hongkou section manage various shooting activities?
Answer: Staff from the North Bund Development Office explained that security guards have certain standards for on-site management of filming activities. First, look at the scale of the shooting activity. Generally speaking, shooting of lovers and children is obviously a shooting activity of ordinary citizens, but there are facilities such as lights, tripods, reflectors, etc., plus a large number of people, or there are stars or celebrities on the scene. , models participate, or there is a brand display on the shooting site, etc., it will usually be recognized as a commercial shooting; second, look at the subject of the photo, if the subject of the photo is a company, it will also be recognized as a commercial photo.
Staff from the North Bund Development Office said that the North Bund section is an important location and the management measures are relatively strict. If it is indeed a commercial shooting, you should report to the North Bund Development Office in advance and provide relevant information such as the shooting party, shooting plan, number of participants, shooting theme, etc. The shooting can only be carried out after the report is approved.
Question: Are the management models of the Binjiang section in other districts similar to the Hongkou section?
Answer: It is understood that the equipment held by some photography enthusiasts is becoming more and more advanced. It is difficult to determine whether the shooting behavior is commercial behavior based only on the observation of security personnel. The management of the riverside sections in different areas is also "standard" Different, citizens and related companies need to understand clearly in advance when filming.
For example, the Yangpu Riverside Urban Operation and Management Center, which manages Yangpu Riverside, said that Yangpu Riverside supports the shooting behavior of ordinary citizens and "little-moving" commercial shooting activities such as wedding photos with small equipment; but for those who need Obvious commercial filming activities such as setting up a stage on the shoreline, requiring large-scale equipment to be brought in, or inviting celebrities for advertising shoots must be reported to the Yangpu Binjiang City Operation Management Center and Binjiang Police Station in advance. Citizens can go to the Yangpu Riverside Urban Operation and Management Center at No. 1500 Yangshupu Road for consultation and reporting.
Another example is the Binjiang in the Huangpu section. According to the reporter's understanding, the management model is similar to that of the Yangpu Binjiang. For obvious commercial shooting, the subject needs to report to the Binjiang Management Office at No. 78 Longhua East Road, Huangpu Section 20 working days in advance.
