Lighting Plan

Yesterday I was working on a lighting plan for our devised piece. I already knew where we would have our lights and how many lights we would have, I then knew from what scenes we had already finished what set is being used and where it is on stage, from this I was able to create a birds eye view of the stage with the lights and what colours they will be.

The different colours represent various things, the grey squares represent where lights are but they'll be off, the different colours represent what colour the light will be as we are using LED lights. The brown shows where the audience will be and the black shows what set is where.

This plan was created before I got a chance to work with the lights, when I got to school today I worked with the lights to only find out that I can only have the LED'S the same colour at one time, which wasn't a problem as this is a compromise which wasn't a big deal. for the opening all the LED'S will be green, the speak easy will be all blue. I think this is a good thing as it makes it very clear when there is a complete scene chance and we are in a different location. through out every scene we have around 6/7 par can lights to give us enough natural light to be scene, we also adjust the brightness of these to give more effect and more clear transitions between each scene.
