Planning An Outdoor Movie Night Event
Planning a school Outdoor Movie Night Party can be a great way to transition from the holidays into Spring, create some synergy moving towards the last quarter of the school year, and raise funds for your cause.
Following are some ideas you will want to consider when planning, promoting a school Outdoor Movie Night event.
Outdoor Movie Night Ideas:
It's good to remember you can't have a movie without power, so be sure to find adequate and safe access to electricity. Also, choose your space with lighting in mind. Make sure that nearby lights, street lights, or passing automobile lights won't reflect against your movie screen.
I also recommend you test the space. Go to the movie space you are considering at dark and check for noises, lighting, potential hazards, parking, dogs barking, etc. Make a list of the pros and cons and consult with a few other helpers to make sure you aren't missing anything that may be a blind spot.
Following are some ideas to consider:
- You can build a screen. There are plenty of DIY options. I'd recommend if possible a plain, white wall or crisp, bright white sheets, either taped or sewn together to act as the display.
- For a clear, crisp image, create a makeshift blackout cloth by attaching a dark fabric to the back side of your white screen.
- Be sure to secure your screen with a thin frame made of wood of PVC pipe. Do your very best to avoid wrinkles and the wind blowing your screening.
- You can rent or purchase an inflatable outdoor movie screen. Check out the Airscreen below which is 10 feet wide and 5.6 feet high and only weighs 44 pounds and takes just 60 seconds to inflate the frame.
- Open Air Cinema has some elite options for movie screens as well.
- Consider renting --- FunFlicks has a variety of options for movie screens.
- Also, recommend you use Google to search for local rental sources and maybe depending on your event you can get a sponsor to provide the movie screen.
- DVD Player - Make sure you setup well in advance of show time to ensure no technical problems with the equipment and that you get a video and audio signal from your DVD player into the sound speakers.
- Sound Speakers - You can go all out with surround sound, but a good pair of speakers will probably do the trick.
- Projector - Make sure your projector has enough lumens to provide a crisp picture. I would consult with a local multimedia person to ensure your projector has the right lumens for your event and check out this Outdoor Movie Theater Project Guide.
