2.2 PREPARATION/ LEARNING ABOUT LIGHTING

Lighting

In lighting I have been learning different techniques about lighting up a the stage in effective ways and making sure that the light that I have chosen is suitable for the scene it will be used in. and I learned some of the words used for certain lights being used together E.g. ‘Wash Lighting’ & ‘Strobe’ is a type of lighting as well.

When the group was rehearsing I sat at the back of the David Sharpe and thought about what kind of lights I could put in certain scenes, and what colour lights would work well with the different scenes. I also listened to suggestions about light that the group wanted to have. I made notes of all of this on paper. That way I can know exactly what lights to put in what scene.

Internet job search

Using the Internet, search again for jobs from all three of the following areas. Do a tally for the number of roles that you can find for each of the groups.

Jobs	Number of roles found
Print media (magazines and newspapers)	30
Theater and dance	50
Graphic and web design	35
Fashion and clothing design	90

Which group had the most roles available?

Fashion and clothing design

In a small group, discuss why you think this might be. Consider the nature of the area you live in, recent developments in technology, the demand for certain products and the kind of work that is done.

Write up your findings below, ready to discuss them with your teacher.

I have done researched on the internet and found out that fashion and clothing design has the most roles found. I think this is mainly because as time has gone by, more and all different ages, and both genders have been very interested in fashion and clothing design, and wanting to get involved in it, maybe hoping that their ideas work out, to then try and make it into something bigger and better. Image has made a big change towards not only celebrities, but many other people too.

In Times Like the 70’s, Fashion wasn’t extremely important to everyone, it was mostly females who were the ones fussed about their appearance. Now, men also care about how they look. And fashion designers are now men, as well as women.
