Your task is to create an educational PowerPoint so you can teach the class about the incredible world of Stage Lighting. Remember that your audience is your peers. Be wild and innovative while getting the job done.
An important element of the production is the lighting. When the performance begins, the lights that are in the auditorium will fade out, and special theater lights will come on to illuminate the stage area. There are many lights that hang over and on the sides of the stage where they cannot be seen, but the light they shed will help illuminate the expressions on the actors’ faces. The lights also help to create a mood on stage. The person who decides how the lighting should look for the different scenes in the play is called the lighting designer. All of the lights are hooked up with cables and wires and controlled by the light board, which is a specialized computer. The light board operator pushes buttons on the light board that causes the light changes seen on stage.
