This week the class learnt a lot more about Lighting and Sound, and we were split up into two groups, once with Bruce to learn about Lighting, and once with Pat to learn more about sound. It was good to learn the different kinds of lights, and what they were nick named, so hopefully if ever I have to do something to do with lighting I'll have a bit more of an idea, no doubt I will never forget about Bruces "Brown bums and White bums". I also learnt that if you need more light, or are going for a different look or style, you can always chuck in a coloured light, and it isn't a big deal. One thing that I never really understood until this lesson when it was presented in such a visual way, is how males can handle harsh lights without looking any worse than usual, but girls do really need softer lighting or otherwise they will look really bad, and "You never want to be the one responsible for making a woman look unattractive".
The sound lesson with Pat was also really good because I learnt more about slightly more in depth patching, and also the big scary control desk which I am still not completely comfortable with, but now I'm not fussed to sit down in front of. I learnt more about routing how to send sound out to the floor without everyone else getting it, or the opposite. Lastly I learnt how to use the computer as an alternative to the control desk which seems a bit more user friendly.
Camilla let me know that in a fortunate turn of events for me, and unfortunate for her, that she would be unable to do her sound role in shooting one of the inserts, so really we both just swapped inserts, because its the same job. Now I will be doing sound on the first aid/ambulance insert, with Ryan and Alana.
