Introduction to Theatre Making 3

After being taught the correct procedures and given some information about lanterns and the differences in functions and purposes we were divided into groups again and asked to produce a brief lighting rig and performance to show what we had learnt.

After learning from our mistake the week before our group decided to go with simplicity. We quickly drew up a lighting plan that involved a 3 point general cover using fresnels to use a wash for the section of the stage we were working on for our first lighting state.

Having rigged these we decided we wanted to highlight our chair within the piece from 45 degrees in front of and above. This created a shadow behind the chair and closed the space for our second lighting state.

Our third and final lighting state saw the introduction of a par can from a side bar. With the barn doors we were able to open up the light to again open the space but from a new perspective when used with the profile. It also moved the shadow of the chair heightening a visual interest for our audience.

Again with the introduction of colour and more lighting states i feel we can progress from what we discovered during this practical.
