My job role for A Classical Serenade at Arley Hall was the Lighting designer. As the lighting designer I was responsible for Creating initial lighting design plans with what gels or what code (on the par LED's) e.g. 'CL06' that I would want to be used. firstly to find out a basic theme for the whole show for it be consistent throughout marketing and front of house I would have to liaise with the Marketing manager Jordan and F.O.H manager Gemma. Secondly I had to go through the lighting stock and work out how many lights I could take and how many needed to be left behind as there were other shows at college.
Once I had worked out the amount of lights that would be needed, I had to go to the blue prints of the rooms that were being used so I could not only decide where the lights shall be placed but also to work out how much cabling aswell as lengths. After I had all the stock that I needed to take I could then make a start on my final lighting designs. This was the easiest part of the process after I had decided on the stock, The only thing left to do was place the lighting where it was going, where the booms would be places and what colours would be used so that on the day of rigging I could direct my team and pinpoint exactly where everything needed to be.
On the day of rigging, it was required that I oversee my team and direct them with clear instructions where things were going. I also had to watch while my team focused the lights around the Halls to ensure everything was highlighted how it was intended to be.
