1. This is my lighting plan that I altered during the plotting sessions. I added in the (O) to show where the audience festoons were going to be. I chose these types of lights for the audience as I felt it was in keeping with the theme of the festoons over the set and made the audience feel connected and part of the show’s theme. I could have used three Minuetts in the rig to do this however I felt that it wasn't stylised enough for this show and was far too basic and general.
2. I also wrote down the sockets for the red white and blue side light. This helped allot during the tech and plotting as I did not have to search on my plan for the numbers. It made the session allot faster and more efficient.
3. I also repositioned the festoons to over the stage only for two reasons. One because I wanted to add similar light over the audience’s tables and felt that more festoons round the back of the audience would be too much. I also changed it because we did not have enough festoons to do my original idea this was due to the budget and that we did not have time to order any more, I also felt that it was not necessary to be so pedantic about where they were put, as long as they were surrounding the space and framed it. (The changes ar marked with a line like so ( _______________ stage right and ______x_________x________x__ stage left)
4. I also marked with an (X) any lights that were not working so we could change them when we next got a break. Making a note of this made it very easy to remember what I needed to change or do once we did get the break.
5. I also used the hand drawn lighting system to draw any changes to where the lights are positioned. This helped for when I was referencing lights that had been moved in the plotting so I did not get confused when I looked for a light that was not there anymore and did not remember that I had moved it. (Marked as so ( _____________> or I drew the lights symbol)
The group numbers are
important for the simple reason that it is easier to bring up each selection of
lights, for example when I wanted to put in my back light to give depth to a
scene quickly I would just type in group 2 @ 100 without having to type in all
of the numbers individually. It also helped allot during the plotting to create
lighting states quickly because again you don't have to type in each individual
light. Lighting groups make finding each type of lighting more time efficient.
