5 Tips for The Best Viewing at Your Outdoor Movie Event

Premiere Outdoor Movies • Sep 14, 2019

Event planning on a large scale is quite difficult and is often left to the professionals. There are many factors to take into considerations such as venue popularity, crowd size, and ambient noise. We have gathered some useful tips which will help you in quick sampling and allow you to smoothly run your movie event.

5 Tips for The Best Viewing at Your Outdoor Movie Event

  1. Movie Selection Is Everything. You shouldn't choose a movie which is shot mostly in the dark for it will blend into the night. You shouldn't choose a movie which features a soft dialogue for it may suffer from the ambient noise. Ideally, you should pick a venue where there is minimal background noise. If your audience contains a lot of kids then you need to make sure that the content of the movie isn't sluggish or slow rather aim for comedy or action genres.
  2. Consider Late-Year Viewings. You can't control the weather but you can count on earlier dusk in the later months. You should bundle up, sell cocoa and hot cider, and cozy up with some of the best holiday and year-end movies.
  3. Check The Area Before Guests Arrive. You need to ensure that your cords are secured and safe with little through traffic from viewers. Make sure that the power source is ready to go and that sharp & jagged objects are kept away from the inflatable movie screen. Your movie screen might have the most durable and sturdy frames on the market but they are not invincible. Glass shards, large nails, and other such things must be kept away especially during the setup. This will allow you to ensure that the guests will remain safe.
  4. Accommodate For Parking. If you are using one of your inflatable movie screens then you will be dealing with a large number of vehicles and people. So, you should assign some staff or volunteers at hand to direct traffic. If you are going to rely on the parking garages within the city then you need to make sure that the attendees are aware of the available parking on the snow days. On weekends, the parking rules may be changed.
  5. Consider The Neighborhood. A large and bright image will be projected onto your outdoor movie screen. There will be loud and occasionally booming audio coming from your speakers. You need to ensure that the housing or apartment complexes nearby aren’t disturbed by this. If you utilize clever marketing then it can turn into an opportunity for bringing in more attendees. You should check with property managers or city officials if you think that the projection and sound will be an issue. You need to remember that when it comes to event planning, it is always better to ask permission than forgiveness.
