2. What are the proper terms when instructing someone to change where the light is pointing?
Always use gloves to protect your hands from heat. Lock the knobs hand tight for easy striking, and add a sandbag to weigh the stand down. Make sure your cables are tidy, either taped down, close to the wall, or covered by a mat. Before you turn on the light, make sure you yell striking so people know to look away from the light. Some terms you should know when lighting are names of equipment. C47's = Clothespins used to pin gels to lights. When moving the light, there are 3 ways to direct someone into directing it: Tilt, pan, and stick, Tilt is tilting the head up and down, panning is moving the head left to right, and stick is lengthening or shortening the height of the head. When lengthening, always start with the top riser first. When sticking down, always have a hand on the riser before loosening and do it in reverse order. When turning off a light, call out saving so people know why a light source is being turned off.
