For getting a perfect event, the event planner has to look into a lot of departments. Decor, lighting, some extra stuff like food and music. The event planner has to nail all these departments. In addition to knowledge and hard work, one also requires a proper guide and some effective tips. Today is the day of the lighting department. With our blog, we are going to show you how to nail an event lighting project.
The whole blog will be a step-by-step process and it will show you the important aspects that are involved in any kind of event lighting project. So let us begin.
Right Questions at the Right Time
Many people advise that keep asking questions from the host so you can better idea of the events. We have a different approach. We are not asking you to go with limited questions, we are just saying that always ask genuine questions at the right time.
Never hesitate on asking any of your doubts. This is the first thing to remember. Secondly, do not make yourself flooded with questions, it will create havoc in your mind, and eventually, you will get confused. So all you have to do is just remember you can ask whatever question you want and the number of questions doesn’t matter, but before every question just think, is it necessary, or is it gonna make me more confused. That’s it!
Planning
Planning is one of the most important things. Plan everything, doesn’t matter how small it is. When you pre-plan everything, you don’t have to make your mind work more, instead, all you have to do is just focus on the execution.
By plan, it means a proper plan. A step-by-step guide. What kind of lighting you are going to use, how it’s going to change, the transition process, the location of lighting, and how is it going to be placed? All these questions should be answered in your plan.
With this kind of plan, you get one extra benefit. Suppose you are not in the event for some emergency reason, the job of the next person who is going to be in charge of the event will become easy. He just has to follow the plans. Remember, with a great plan, great execution is also required!
Proper Placement of Lightings
For the proper placement of lighting, it is important to understand the aspect of need. Where is the need? What must be highlighted? At what angle and from which position we can get the best results? All these questions should come to mind during the placement of lighting.
Suppose you are working for a concert. The focus should be on the stage and the artist. The passage for the public must have enough lighting. All the backlighting or front lighting should not get into the eyes of artists as well as the public. Do a trial. Spot best angles that satisfy all the above requirements.
This is how you execute the placement of lighting. You have to search angle. You have to work many times before the actual event. do not try to plan your placement on paper or in mind, have to try it physically.
Color and Types of Lighting
Choosing the kind of lighting depends upon two factors, budget and the result you want. Adjust these two factors altogether. You have to analyze what kind of return you want from your lighting and then have to look at the options available in the market for such. Then go for those who come into your budget and give you what you want.
You cannot satisfy both conditions altogether. One condition has to adjust. So always make a decision by looking at the extent. To what extent do they satisfy my requirements.
With colors, one has to do a lot of trials. The color shouldn’t be too much bright or dim. Color combinations are a big and tough task. There are some already defined color combinations for specific events but again in event management if you want something new and special, you have to keep trying. So either go with the standard choices of both lighting and color combinations or go with a lot of trials.
