Week 4 TVP107

This week the class split up into two separate groups and were taught more about lighting by Bruce and sound by Pat. I found these classes to be invaluable as I learnt much more about lighting and most notably the lighting up on the grid in the studio which is really good as I am lighting supervisor one of the weeks for "w!cked". I learnt lots of handy little things like chucking in as many colour lights is never a problem and good for filling in space and also having colour lighting as back lights is another handy hint I learnt from the class. Also other little things like girls needing softer lighting and actually being shown this was good and handy to know for "w!cked" and for the future.
The sound "lecture" was also very helpful in explaining different things about patching, and also the control desk which I am still not that familiar with but after that lesson I at least knew routing a little clearer and how to put sound out to the floor as well as how to use the computer instead of the control desk which seems allot simpler.
On the road to "w!cked" I have been in contact with the Marter Dei primary school to sing a Christmas song to finish my Christmas show and although they haven't confirmed anything they did seem to be very interested which is very good after the Universities choir fell through. I still have not contacted the Chef's I'm after but have the phone number of one of them which is at least a start. I have also been to meetings at Camillas discussing ideas for w!cked and script ideas.
I am planning on booking the studio out during the holidays to get myself more accustomed to the studio and better at everything really. In particular I am going to try and work with the lighting to help with my role as lighting supervisor in "w!cked".
