LX UNIT 6

task 2:

for our unit 6 LX task 2, we had to take a series of photos of ourselves based on several positions of lanterns. here are the photos:

Blocking- Stage Mangement

Blocking is done by DSM which is directive stage manager.

Blocking is when you record the movement of performers WHERE and WHEN in the performance.

The reason why Blocking is done is so the lighting designer (LD), sound designer (SND DES), flys, scene changes, understudies, swings and reviews on long runs know whats happening and where to put their corresponding equipment, for example for the lighting designer, by knowing where performers are; they can then plan where to put up lanterns to fit the mood and so the audience can see where the performers are.

One key thing to know about blocking is that blocking should always be done in pencil and nothing else. This is due to the fact if there is a change from the director or one of the designers, then its easily changed and its not permanent.

When blocking, there are 3 key things to remember:

1) Use character initials

2) number the moves (start from 1 on every page)

3) place the number in the blocking column and in the script where the move happens

LX: Basic electrical concepts:

Atomic Structure of Gold

ELECTRICITY: 

Transfer of energy through the motion of charge carrying electrons.
  
ELECTRON DRIFT: 

Copper,Gold and Silver are all good conductors of electricity because their outer electrons are weakly bound and it is easier to pull them from orbit.
When an external force such as VOLTAGE is applied then this pulls the outer electrons from their orbit.

 
CURRENT

Electrical Current

Current is the flow of electrons that results in the transfer of energy, however this can only be accomplished by having a completed circuit.
Current is measured in Amperes and is represented in formulas by the letter 'I'






 RESISTANCE

OMEGA

Resistance is the opposite to the flow of electrons, to which this is measured by Ohms. Ohms is represented in formulas by the Greek symbol OMEGA. Resistance is increased with heat and cable length. This is inversely proportional to cable size, which means that the smaller the cross sectional area of a cable is, the higher the resistance will be.

OHM'S LAW

Ohm's Law is one of the most important electrical formulas that you would need to know. Ohm's Law expresses the relationship between the 3 concepts of Voltage (V), Current (I) and Resistance (OMEGA)

OHM'S LAW STATES THAT V=IxR
