7 Tips to Plan a Successful Outdoor Movie Event

Introduction

• Outdoor movie events are fun. There is something
  about watching a movie under the skies that is
  immensely gratifying. However, there is a greater
  chance of things going wrong with an outdoor
  cinema. That is because, unlike indoor cinemas
  where you have most things under control, there
  are way too many factors that can cause a
  below-par outdoor movie experience.
• The key to minimising the impact of these
  variables then is to plan adequately before
  booking an outdoor cinema hire.
• In keeping with that, here are seven things you
  can do to make your outdoor cinema event a grand
  success.

Tips to Plan a Successful Outdoor Movie Event
 1. Select the right movie
Picking the right movie is very important for a
successful outdoor cinema event. For instance, if
you pick a movie that has plenty of dark scenes,
there is a chance it might disappear into the
night. Or if it has too many soft dialogues, it
could be overwhelmed by ambient noise although
ideally speaking, an outdoor movie event should
never be held in a place where there is
significant background noise.
2. Test the content beforehand
Although they are becoming increasingly rare, if
you are going to use discs to play the content,
make sure the media are not corrupt and play the
content without any glitches. Even if the discs
function well, having backup copies at hand is a
good idea.

3. Inspect the venue before everyone arrives
Before your guests start streaming in, it is
always recommended to give the venue a thorough
check. Ensure all the cords are secured properly
and routed away from the audience. Also, check if
the power source is working as it should. And in
case youve gone with an inflatable cinema hire,
make sure its safeguarded from all sharp/jagged
objects.
4. Ensure the neighbourhood is on-board
An outdoor cinema consists of a bright and large
image projected onto a screen which is
accompanied by occasionally booming and loud
audio. So before you even begin planning the
event, make sure it doesnt disturb your
neighbours. Seek their permission beforehand,
which is also a nice way to market the event and
drum up the attendee count.

5. Make space for parking
If youve gone with an inflatable movie screen
hire, you are likely expecting a lot of people,
and by extension, vehicles. It is a good idea, as
such, to hire some external help in managing the
resultant traffic.
6. Consider the weather
Open air theatre events should be held in
accordance with the local weather. If you are
hosting one in the winter, make sure to start
early as dusk falls sooner in winter, as does the
temperature. Also, ask attendees to come dressed
in appropriate clothing as you dont want them to
feel uncomfortable during the screening.

7. Choose the right time of year
Certain times of the year are simply better than
others when it comes to hosting an outdoor
cinema event. And while you cannot control the
weather, you can certainly choose the right time
for hosting the event. For instance, the early
months of the winter are great as it doesnt get
too cold and dusk falls sooner as well. The
setting is also the perfect opportunity to sell
some hot cocoa and cider while screening
universally loved holiday or year-end movies.
