Step By Step Guide When using the drama studio you must make sure everything is in place for lighting, sound and projection:

LIGHTING:

In the rig there are 10x CCT Minuette Fresnel w/gel frames, in order to make sure these are correctly in place you must check that all lights are successfully rigged . you must make sure all lights have these following things; TICK WHEN COMPLETED

G-clamp- all lights should be safely hung by a G-clamp, this G-clamp must be attached to the top of the light, if there is not a G-clamp they can be found situated at the back of the hall to the right, hung off a lighting rack.

Gel- all lights in the drama studio must have a gel inside a gel frame attached to the front of the light, however if there isn’t a gel, these can be found at the back of the hall in the top draw, if they aren’t cut to the right shape or size, there are scissors situated just above this draw.

Gel Frame- it is imperative that all lights in the drama studio have gel frames in order to fit the gel, these can be found hanging at the back of the hall to the right next to the G-clamps.

Barn Doors- lastly all barn doors must be attached to lights if they are needed, you must ensure that they are fully extended If you need to isolate the light direction, if there aren’t any on the light, barn doors are again found at the back of the hall to the right.

Safety chain- If hanging the light from the rig or a boom the CCT must have a safety chain; additional chains are situated at the back of the hall. To the right.

Plugs- it is very important that all plugs are correctly plugged in to sockets, if not there could be a very high health and safety risk, if the plug is not plugging in check that there are no wires covering it, after this if it’s still not working, I could be a good idea to see the college technician Julie.

Lamp tray: this is also very important to take into account that the lamp tray is connected properly, as this could cause wires to hang loose dangerously. This maybe because it hasn’t been fastened on properly If this is the case, the screwdrivers are placed above the scissors at the back of the hall to the right. If the lamp tray still isn’t on properly see Julie the college technician.

Also make sure that the light Is hung the correct way around, you will know this by the knob being on the underneath of the light.

SOUND:

• Plug extension lead into power source

• Plug both jacks into the small sound desk. If not plug them in.

• Make sure speakers are correctly connected to sound desk and plugs. If they aren’t speak to Julie the college technician

• Turn on sound desk. If this doesn’t work repeat these steps or ask Julie

PROJECTION:

• Check VGA cable is connected; if not there will be a VGA cable will be available at the back of the hall in Julie’s office. Cables are labelled.

• Make sure they’re is a lap top present in the room, otherwise nothing of the projection will work, a laptop will be available to use from one of the media rooms.

• After there is a present laptop make sure its cables are connected. • Switch projector on.

After everything is checked….TURN ON 32 AMP PLUG.
