The most important part of making the most of a good filming location is to have the proper gear for the setting you will be shooting in. The gear requirements for outdoor and indoor shooting can be completely different. Lighting and acoustics are much more easily controlled in indoor settings, whereas in outdoor settings, you are at the mercy of mother nature. Next to this, when you are scouting your location, be sure that the space will match the creative direction of your shoot. Finding the best location can be a tough task with many different places to scout and look through, but fortunately, Tagvenue can help you find the perfect location for your creative project.
New Islington is a great spot with tons of well equipped and functional studios ready for you to use on your next shoot. Deansgate is a great part of town if you are looking to get out of the studio and shoot in a more real life setting. These places will often be busy, however, so if you are looking for somewhere a bit more private and off the beaten path, then consider finding a filming location in an area like Salford or Old Trafford.
Your Guide to Hiring Filming Locations in Manchester
From Trafford Park to Monsall, take your pick from a huge range of blank canvas studios, or bespoke rooms with built in sets, such as kitchens and lounges. For those creating their own set or backdrop, many of the venues benefit from a great amount of natural light and have all the necessary equipment to help your creation come to life, setting the scene perfectly for adverts and promotional video shoots, as well as short scenes for film, TV, or music videos. Hire fees begin at £480 and rise to £2,550 depending on the size of the studio and the resources available.
If you’re looking for cheap filming locations, then it’s also possible to hire a number of bespoke venues in city centre locations, such as Springfields and the Northern Quarter, including meeting rooms, galleries, and bars. Here you need not worry about creating your own backdrop and simply take advantage of the ready-made setting available to you. Ideal for short films or TV scenes, saving time on a backdrop means you’ll have plenty of time to adjust your shots and get the best camera footage possible. Enquire directly through Tagvenue and we’ll help you find a quote that fits to your time and budget requirements.
