Step-by-step guide: Studio space

You can use the recording studio step by step with these instructions.

<aside> ⚠️ Please do not adjust anything on the lighting console and be careful when changing the background

<aside> ⚠️ Don't overdo it with the brightness. You usually need a maximum of three spotlights to illuminate one person. Make sure that the brightness is okay for the camera image and not too uncomfortably bright for the person being illuminated. Do not look directly into the spotlight, as this can cause long-term damage.

<aside> 🔆 If you are filming, switch off the ceiling light! The ceiling light is a working light and is not suitable for illuminating people or the background.

The studio area in the AV lab can be equipped with three different curtains as a backdrop. A black molleton, a white/beige molleton and a green screen are available for this purpose.

The molletons can be opened and closed on their guide rails.

They are attached to the underside with Velcro. Make sure that the molleton is as tight as possible so that it does not wrinkle or cast a shadow.

<aside> ⚠️ Especially when using the green screen, it is important that it is as wrinkle-free as possible.

The spotlights are controlled via the lighting console on the control desk. To switch it on, press the toggle switch at the back of the console.
