Lighting "> stage lighting production process (1) lighting design 1. Familiar with the performance script: You must understand the content of the performance itself, do analysis work, deeply understand the characteristics of the performance, find out the turning point of the plot or activity atmosphere, and determine the desired effect of each paragraph according to the script. 2. Finalize the lighting draft: participate in the rehearsal from time to time, understand the content and place of the performance, determine the Q point, creative concept and effect after repeated discussions with the director, performers, music, clothing and other departments, finalize the first draft of the stage lighting, and revise it repeatedly. The final version before the actual performance can be changed at any time according to the performance. 3. Configuration loop: inspect the performance venue, and design the configuration loop according to its loop circuit, control panel, lamps and meters, number of stage poles, height and width of space, depth and width of stage, dimming controller and other related mechanical equipment. 4. Deliver to the dance director: Deliver the final lighting to the dance director, run the process to determine each step, refine the lighting effect with the actors, and inform the change points in detail. 5. Finishing equipment: According to the lighting configuration and the equipment rented in the venue, prepare necessary equipment in advance, such as color film, color film clip, gloves, pliers, etc. 6. Scheduling process: Before entering the performance venue, clearly calculate the required working time according to the whole work content of the lighting itself, and plan the working process with other stage departments to avoid affecting each other's progress. Stage lighting execution 1. Assemble lamps and lanterns: according to the loop configuration table, hang lamps, configure loops and attach films, and adjust the angle and spatial light position of lamps and lanterns. 2. Determine the effect: together with the director, determine the brightness level of the light, determine each effect and record it in detail. 3. Rehearsal exercise: Rehearsal is formal, and the rehearsal process of the performance will never be interrupted. These questions will be brought up for discussion after the rehearsal. Buy time before the performance, and find out the possible problems in the operation according to the Q table and the actual practice of each effect recorded. 4. Performance: According to the instructions of the dance director, accurately perform each effect. Installation of performance stage 1. Hanging lights: after entering the performance venue, the first thing to do is to hang all the lights on the lamp rack one by one according to the lighting position shown in the lighting schematic. Attention, the stage must be clear at this time! 2. Distribution lines: each lamp must be equipped with extension lines and * * * lighting lines according to the drawings. 3. Lighting adjustment and coloring paper: All lamps and lanterns must be adjusted to the required position one by one by the lighting designer, adjusted according to the size of demand, and finally added with the specified coloring paper. 4. make a hint: after adjusting the lights, you can start to make a hint when all the lights are working normally. The so-called CUE is to set all kinds of lighting changes in the whole performance on the stage, and record these pictures one by one through manual controller or computer controller, which will become the basis of lighting changes in future performances. 5. Technical rehearsal: After these pictures are recorded, they should be combined with other departments, such as speakers, stage, clothing, makeup, etc., and all of them should join the stage for technical rehearsal; At this point, shortcomings can be found and corrected immediately. 6. Problem correction: The problems in technical arrangement must be further adjusted, whether it is moving lights, changing colored paper or readjusting lights, they are all carried out between technical arrangement and formal rehearsal. 7. Formal rehearsal: Rehearsal is regarded as a formal performance. Usually, all possible accidents in the performance process occur in advance during the formal rehearsal. So, all departments-stage, costume, lighting, sound effects, makeup, actors, etc. -regard the rehearsal as a formal performance, and the rehearsal process will never be interrupted. There will be questions to discuss after the rehearsal. 8. Final revision: After the formal rehearsal, there is still a period of time for the ministries to make adjustments and repairs in order to wish the formal performance perfect. 9.& gt Official performance: The designer has finished the work, handed over all technical work to the technicians, and the stage supervision and control technical department completed the performance process. The goal pursued by stage lighting designers: 1. Simplicity is beauty. 2. Don't pay attention to fancy, usurp the role of the host, and set off the theme without expressing yourself. 3. Good design can set off the atmosphere and spirit, so that the audience can naturally accept and blend in, but they can't feel its existence. The highest ideal is "lessi *** ore", hoping to reach the state of returning to nature, instead of desperately reminding people of the "existence" of lights with many changes and colors. Of course, there may be more colors and more abstractions, but what the audience feels is real and has deeper emotional expression. Perhaps this is related to the basic abstract personality such as lighting design and application. For a novice in this job, the most important thing is to have an ambition. In addition to various dabbling and efforts, we should also cultivate patience, sensibility and carefulness, because these three are the most important factors, from installation to demolition, from the feeling of plot to design. Different from other arts, lighting design is the most direct way to learn from nature, but it needs the longest rumination to develop and create. And this kind of rumination not only refers to the designer's own cultivation, but also includes the research and innovation of science and technology.
