Choosing the Right Type of Location to Conduct Interviews
Never underestimate the importance of a good venue for an interview. Not only does it provide a backdrop for a meaningful conversation, but the space also does a lot of the storytelling for you when you choose right
Home Office or Study – Personal and Grounded. A home office or a private study makes the entire setup feel warm and refreshingly real, because there's nothing more honest than someone's own space. Book an apartment, a penthouse, or an inviting home with its own office, library, or study that's big enough for the crew.
Corporate Boardroom – Clean, Professional, and Authoritative. Want to show or highlight your professional image for an executive interview or business-focused content? A well-lit, modern corporate boardroom is the way to go. They usually have a projector or screens, high-speed Wi-Fi, comfortable chairs, and a waiting area, which is handy for this type of event.
Rooftop Terrace – Refreshing and Cinematic. If it's something casual, maybe more of a conversation between the host and the guest than a formal one-on-one, a rooftop terrace makes perfect sense. You don't need to set up a lot of lighting equipment and props, because the views and natural light will do the heavy lifting for you.
Vintage Café or Lounge – Warm and Comfortable Dialogues. Nothing relaxes guests faster than a cozy, lived-in setting like a lovely neighborhood café or lounge. They can be more open and honest as they feel relaxed, and there are snacks and beverages to order before or after the session.
Art Gallery – Beautiful Art Pieces as Your Backdrop. Guests or interviewees will look forward to meeting the crew in an art gallery. Thoughtful lighting, clean walls, and an open layout are a plus, and you can give them a tour to see the displays or use them as the backdrop to the event.
Essentials for an Interview
So, you've found a beautiful venue? That's great, but that's only half the battle. Don't book the first place you find just because it looks amazing on camera or in person. Determine your non-negotiables and nice-to-haves, and search for a spot with questions to ask and things to confirm.
Check the lighting situation. Natural light can be a gift, but you need to know when and where it falls throughout the day. That's why it's a good idea to visit the site at different times of the day, and check whether they have existing lighting rigs or if you'll have to bring your own gear.
How's the acoustic quality? What's the point of having a well-spoken candidate or guest if half their words get swallowed up by echo and background noise, or if your audience is too busy cringing at the audio to actually listen? Look for venues with carpeting, soft furnishing, or built-in acoustic treatment because audio often comes out clean in these spaces.
Is there adequate power and connectivity? If an interview involves cameras, lighting kits, audio equipment, and laptops, adequate power is a must. Check how many outlets are available and make sure it offers reliable Wi-Fi to stay connected, especially if you plan to live-stream or upload on-site.
How to Plan an Interview
An interview may start once the interviewer asks the first question and end the moment the guests walk out the door. But there are many layers and puzzle pieces you have to put together ahead of time for the full picture to become exactly how you imagined and more.
Lock in Your Venue Early – The best spaces book fast, especially on weekends and during peak production seasons. So once you know your interview dates, head to the Giggster app and secure your venue before someone else does.
Build a Realistic Run-of-Show – Figure out what will happen on the day of and write it down, from the arrival and setup time to a tech check, the interview itself, and breakdown. Give each phase more time than you think you'll need because a buffer will save you from unnecessary stress.
Prepare Your Subject in Advance – Interviews have different formats; some are structured, while others are loose, laid-back, and go-with-the-flow. No matter how you want the interview to go, make sure the guest knows what to expect on the day. This way, they can also prepare and give you the best material.
Coordinate Your Crew and Equipment – Does the team know what role each of them plays, what to bring, and when to arrive? You want everyone to be on the same page from planning to execution.
Interview Hidden Costs
It usually doesn't cost a fortune to pull off a productive and memorable interview session. But those hidden fees can catch you off guard and throw off your budget if you're not prepared.
Who'll pay for parking and transportation?
No one would be so happy to go to an interview location with a bad parking situation (or a pricey one), especially if they have equipment to set up. For larger crews, a transportation or ride-share line item is worth adding to the plan. You won't want them struggling to use public transportation when the shoot or interview starts in 20 minutes, and the next bus isn't for another 45.
Budget for overtime charges.
Do you have a lot to cover during the interview, or do you have more guests to accommodate in one room? Maybe the event just goes longer than expected. Know the overtime rate (or check the listing details on Giggster) to avoid any expensive surprises later.
Is the venue move-in ready, or do you need to bring in furniture and props?
Many of our venues come beautifully furnished and ready to shoot. But if a raw or empty space is your thing, you may need to rent tables, chairs, and décor to create the professional environment your interview requires. Check the listing details before you assume the space is move-in ready.
Plan a Phenomenal Interview
With the right venue, solid preparation, and excited guests, your next interview session is set up for success from the very first frame. Book your interview space on the Giggster app, and turn your vision into a reality.
