i never thought that handling the technical side of an event can be so complicating and so complex until i joined media class on the 5th of september....

mic and mixer

"i always love technical stuffs and media as well.....and i would like to explore more of it"
thats the respond i gave when they i asked me why i joined the class....the class was held at mph and for a lengthy 12 hours but it is very worth it as i was able to learn lots of new things....

this class is specially made for teaching those who wanted to become a crew(those who handle the technical side of an event) and one of the reasons that i wanted to join this class is that i wanted to experience how does it like to become a crew....

ok....the technical parts of an event i basically divided into 5 parts....floor, stage, audio, lighting and projection(as i mentioned earlier)....and was led by the floor manager....the floor manager in charge of everything and can control everything on the technical side....while stage manager control everything on the stage such as the flow of performers, mic, and light adjusting....

one of the crew explaining about the audio system

the other 3 parts sit in the control room led by control room manager.....for the audio side, the audioman in charge of controlling the audio channel from various sources such as microphones, computer, tape recorder and many more to the output, which is the speakers.....

the lightingman controls the lighting whether on the stage or on the floor and there are many lamps that they must handle such as parcan, cyclorama, freshnal, dimmer and many more....
the last part is the projection controlled by prompter....anything that is displayed on the screen is controlled by them and its not easy as it sounds because there are many rules to be obeyed and difficulties to be handled.....

participant + crew

at the end of the day, i was satisfied and happy to learn all of these stuff and gain new experience in the technical side.....but sad to say, i cannot enter the crew unless i sacrifice my post as a photographer in the creative multimedia department......after long consideration......i decided to hold my post as a photographer since i love photog more than becoming a crew......
eventhough that i will not become a crew and handling all these equipments.....but i was happy and satisfied to know all this knowledge.....
ok thats all for now.....until the next time.....salam
