Ok, so this question slightly pertains to our current show, and general lighting overall.
I do a lot of work with our lighting system, but recently we have been going back and forth between dance productions, and play productions. So we had to adjust or lighting positions. So now are lights look a complete mess on stage, and we never took the time to right anything down. But normally we would just angle all the lights downward and let the FOH lights do the rest.
But I have always been unsure of whether or not this is the right thing to do, I have looked at other schools light plots and many use zones and things like that to know where to adjust the lights. So what I am asking is:
does anyone have advice or tips on knowing where to properly position lights?
