The drive-in theatre or drive-in cinema is a form of cinema event, consisting of a large outdoor movie screen, loads of cars and a large parking area in front of the screen. Within this enclosed area, customers can view movies from the privacy and comfort of their cars.
The screen solution could either be a large projection screen or outdoor LED screen. A drive in cinema will need a much larger screen compared to standard outdoor cinema usually seen in this country. This is due to the cars having to be more spread out, so every one has a great view of the screen. Normally the movie’s sound is provided by speakers on the screen, we now use a more economical and easier to maintain method of broadcasting; a low output power FM radio signal to be picked up by a car radios.
With our current situation of social distancing restrictions due to Covid-19, this form of entertainment could well be the answer to increasing the rules and limiting the spread of the virus. Given that this type of event has not been seen for a long while, it’s definitely an event that most people would could consider trying for the first time!
