Own Lighting Designs

A2 Drama Exam

Focus Notes

A lighting designer creates focus notes for riggers to be aware of exactly how many lights are being used. This document informs them of not only the lantern used. But the gel required (if applicable) what the light is aiming to light and the exact location of it to focus.

Colour Call

A lighting designer uses a colour call to inform riggers of the required gels for each light. For example in the colour call below, 4 CCT Fresnels require gel 444. This will work as a working document and should riggers run out of a specific gel, they will edit the document informing the designer of the changes that had to be made. This is usually deciding on a gel that most resembles the desired.
