Technical Run

Today in Drama class we learnt to run a Technical Run. The Technical Run consists in the testing of Lighting, entering the stage, exiting the stage, music, etc. This is fundamental for drama practices because, we need to make sure that everything is fine and ready for the day in which we will present the play.

To do the Technical Run for the Lighting effects, we need to keep track of which lights we turn on and off, and when do we turn them on and off. Another thing that we also do, is to fix the light intensity and colour of it. Lighting is very important to be able to give the audience a more accurate vision of the play scenario.

Picture above shows how how to record the lighting that is needed during the scenes, the number of the light and when it should be turned on.

Pictures above and below show how does the lighting effects affect the feeling that the audience has towards the play.
