Find interview filming locations near me

The two primary videography concerns for shooting a filmed interview are lighting and depth of field. First, consider the space you'll be shooting in. There are numerous locations that will work, from video production studios to spacious private homes. Check Peerspace for available professional interview filming venues that you can use by the hour. Using a production studio is the easiest option in terms of controlling the filming environment, and many will have lighting equipment you can use if you don't have it yourself. Usually, filmed interviews are shot with a shallow depth of field, with some distance between the subject and the background. This creates an aesthetically pleasing background bokeh and focuses the visual attention on your subject. Make sure to avoid shooting in environments that will have ambient noise or poor acoustics.

Finding filmed interview locations is as simple as searching here on Peerspace, which maintains the largest active directory of interview filming locations. If you don't find a listing for your area, search the web for photo and video production studios in your city. You should also check your local library! Many people don't realize that libraries often have spaces that can be used for video production. Look for a filmed interview location that won't have any extra sound and in which you can control the lighting situation.

There are two ways to find beautiful filmed interview backgrounds. The first is to shoot in a beautiful location itself, and the second is shooting in a studio location in which you can switch out professional backdrops. Peerspace's interview shooting spaces feature both options. If you search for a production studio, look for one with changeable backdrops. If you use an on-location space like a residence, flex space, or gallery, look for both good visuals and a quiet environment, so you can capture good audio.
