I need to have definitions (they can be very short) for the following drama lighting terms by tomorrow:GoboGeneral WashUpLight/ Down LightSide LightFront Light/ Back LightBarn DoorsFloor LightStrobeMoversGelsStraw WashProjectionSnap CueCrossfadesSpotlightFollow SpotBreak-Up Gobo
Gobo - small peice of metal on the front of a lantern to 'project' a pattern e.g. a Cloud General Wash - big floodlight controlled by LX operator Up light - Light going up a wall Down light - Light going down a wall Barn doors - The little flaps (often on TV) 4 - move them to create a square/rectangle light Floor light - Otherwise known as floor can - sits on the floor to light Strobe - Flashing light - very fast! Movers - they swivel around and can often 'project' the little moving lights often on TV sets Gels - coloured sheets infront of light for colour lights Straw wash - Never heard of it! Projection - image produced by digital projector Snap cue - very fast change on lighting cue. e.g. CUT! and all lights turn on quickly Crossfades - From one cue to the other crossing over/fading slowly. From left to right. Spotlight - one single spot of light on a person/object Follow spot - one single spot of light on a person/object moved by an operator and adjustable whilst working Break-up gobo - blotchy patterns that produce a texture of light Hope this helps!
