SUMMARY:

OPEN WHITE GENERAL

Although the above illustration may seem over-kill for small studio venues, it will not be enough for large spaces, so please interpret accordingly. If possible the general should include side lighting a) to reduce dazzling front-lighting and b) to allow a left or right bias to the cover using the D.S. lamps nos. 3 & 4.

RED AND BLUE WASHES

The Red wash is used on its own, so the above illustration may not be enough. The Up-Stage Reds need to be patched separately from the rest (although they may be paired together). Similarly the Blues may be patched as 2 pairs (Up Stage and Downstage pairs) plus the upstage centre.

FOCUSSING

With the exception of the specials, all lights are focussed to cover the whole stage area with no 'zoning' and no use of barn doors except to mask off ugly walls, curtains or audiences .

SPECIALS

Both specials are focussed on the stage’s ‘sweet spot’ i.e. centre 1/3^rd back from the edge of the stage.

1. 'Spot' - A steep (60°+), angled (i.e. not directly front) hard-edged centre-spot. The scene is an actor singled out on-stage having just failed an audition. The area should be tight, but wide enough to allow open arms (crucifix-style), i.e. Approx 6-8 ft diameter.

2. ‘Bedsit’ – A medium (30° - 45°) side-on  ‘bare light-bulb’ sort of effect.
