Technical Theatre Assessment

Finally the time came for Jack, Elvina and I to do our assessment, which we had been planning over the last several weeks.

As Bosonova Baby played, we had to light the stage as if there was a performance happening.
This is the lighting we used:

As the song started, the entire stage lit up in a deep, warm pink colour. Then, the centre spotlight came on, quite an intense white, with a head shot light just over it, but neither of them were too bright for whoever would be singing.
We had set the shapes of the lights which shone on upstage right and upstage left to form a quarter of a circle each, and they faded up one after the other, up stage right first.
It was Elvina's job to hit "Go" on our set states at the appropriate times and make these first four lights fade on at the right time.
Once the basic lighting was set and the song got started, we had red and blue lights in two strips horizontally across the centre of the stage, two red lights and two blue, which flashed on one by one very quickly. Jack was manually controlling white lights which he made flash up at every one of a particular beat in the chorus, and Elvina and I now moved on to sliding on and off blue and green and red lights in centre stage. We controlled these manually and had them coming on and off in time during the chorus, and the bridge. The four red and blue lights we had already set continued to go off during the verses.
The bridge of the song is quite long, and it was really fun to just play around with a medley of colours during that part, the bright whites which Jack was doing, and the red, blues and greens which Elvina and I were doing.
When it went back to the chorus, we continued in the same pattern as before, fading up the red, blue, greens with each "Bosonova", having the whites flash on the beat just after that, and then playing with them all during the few musical notes where no one is singing.
On the final beats of the song, we had all of the lights go off together except for the spotlight in the centre, and that's how it ended.

My personal favourites were the blue, red and green ones which we controlled manually and the white ones which were also manually controlled, as I found it most fun to get to play around with them and decide when they should go on and off.
It was actually really cool to see our work go into practice, and to watch the stage lights knowing we were doing them.
It was awesome :)
