Why Marquees are a Must-Have for Film and TV Production

Zest Marquees • December 19, 2022

Zest Marquees are well known for being at the top of their game for luxury wedding marquee hire in Northamptonshire and surrounding areas. However, did you know we cater for many corporate & hospitality events, plus marquee hire services for TV and film production too?

 

We recently provided a marquee for DIY SOS for all the volunteers to use as a breakout area.

 

Marquees are an essential part of the film and TV industry. They provide a place for the cast and crew to take a break and can also be used as a base for filming.

 

For one, marquees can be used to control lighting. By hanging a marquee over a set, you can block out unwanted light and create the perfect lighting conditions for filming. This is essential for achieving the desired look and feel of a scene.

 

Another benefit of marquees is that they can be used to create privacy. If you're filming a sensitive scene, a marquee can block out prying eyes and give the actors the necessary privacy to perform their best.

 

Finally, marquees can be used to create an atmosphere. You can develop a sense of suspense, excitement, or mystery by hanging a marquee over a set. This can be essential for setting the tone of a scene and making it more engaging for viewers.

 

So, if you're planning on film or television production, remember the marquees! They can make all the difference in the success of your production.

Planning an event involves a lot of decisions, but one of the most critical is selecting the proper size marquee. Whether hosting a wedding, corporate gathering, birthday party, or festival, the marquee size can make or break your event. Too small, and your guests feel cramped. It is too large and can feel empty or a waste of budget.

Spring is a season of renewal, celebration, and fresh beginnings, making it the perfect time to host an event. Whether it's a wedding, a garden party, a corporate gathering, or a charity event, spring offers the ideal backdrop of blooming flowers and warmer weather. However, with spring's popularity comes high demand for event venues—and marquees are no exception.
