Learning Event 1:
DESCRIBE PROPER LIGHTING REQUIREMENTS FOR A TELEVISION STUDIO
1.
The requirements for good lighting are directly related to the quality
of the desired television image.
If available light is to be used, the
optimum performance settings must be adjusted to the average light
conditions.
2.
The first consideration of studio lighting is the location of its
sources. The common practice is to keep all sources of light off the studio
floor and above the cameras, microphones, and sets. An accepted method of
supporting lighting fixtures is to suspend pipe battens from the ceiling by
chains and hooks, or to use a system of anchored piping to the studio
ceiling.
a. A connector strip is mounted on brackets along the length of the
batten. The space between the strip and batten is for clamping the lighting
fixtures to the batten. The circuit for each outlet is connected through
the end of the batten to a terminal box. This is connected to a cable duct
or conduit.
The circuits are then routed to the lighting switch board.
This strip contains a number of cables with outlets spaced along its length
for the lights.
