light workshop

On Thursday in our lighting workshop we were put into groups of five and experimented with four different light setups. In all of theses setups the were three lights the key, the rim and the fill. The first setup we worked with was the red head the redheads have 1000 Watts each 3000 Watts altogether,  all this energy together is too much to put into one extension cable if you did the lights wouldn’t work.  These lights are very bright at the highest power, even though they were extremely bright they had a low coverage and focus, I found these lights quite easy to handle and easy to work with. Health and safety of these lights was that the units were very hot and had to use gloves, that the lambs could explode so you had to use mash.
The second set up that we worked with was the dedo  lights these lights  300 warts all three of them add up to 900 W which can be plugged into one socket. The brightness was moderate because they were too bright but they won’t dark.  Overall the coverage was quite high as well as the focus. We found the lights easy to carry because they weren’t heavy, so we could move them round if we wanted to.  For health and safety of this set up was that because we moved the lamps we had to be careful of wires so we had to talk them away so no one trip, we also had to be careful because the lamps were hot so we had to wear gloves.
 The third set up we went to was the horror lighting these lights were 300 Watts  all three lights came to 900 Watts so they could be put into one extension socket. These lights were moderately bright we also added coloured  cellophane to them To create more thorough feel to the lighting. The coverage of these lights were about a medium coverage. We found them really easy to use and easy to move about. How fun safety with these lights are that they are hot so we had to wear gloves so not to burn ourselves, because we were moving the lights and lying on the floor we had to be careful not to trip over wires all stands.
 Last set up we used were the Arri  lights these were 300 Watts, 900 Watts altogether and they can all fit into one plug socket. The brightness of these lights were very high, these lights were extremely bright.  Coverage and focus from these lights were high because of the fresnal lens  and wide angle to spot.  We found these lights easy to use. Health and safety risks for these are the same as the others because the light will be extremely hot and you have to wear gloves, there is also a trip hazard because of the wires and the light stands.
