THR 110 Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Audio Engineer, Film Poster, Dry Ice
Document Summary
Special effects: strobe lights- used to give the illusion of slow motion on stage. Very affective but only for a short amount of time (audience will. April 28, 2015 get a headache/will lose focus) Post a lobby card to warn the audience: black light. Don"t want to over use it because audience will get distracted. Sound effects: gun shot sound is normally live (aka best live, weapons safety: Do not touch it unless you are told to. Don"t put foreign objects in the gun. Can be very loud: when using weapons make sure you information your audience before the show and that the people handling them are responsible. Pyrotechnics: blowing stuff up, flash pot- a baby bomb. In a lot of states you must have a license to build flash pots. Never use gun powder because this is bad. You can by stuff that is pre-mixed or buy stuff separately and mix it yourself.
