SPOTLIGHT 143 SPOTLIGHT 1. Beam Falls Upon Audience, Causing Annoyance and Distraction (a) — Improper masking of lower part of beam is often the cause of this trouble. Masks can be procured or cut to suit the apron line of stage, or to follow the curve of the orchestra pit if it is desired to include the orchestra for flood work. For spotting, a mask can usually be set at a lower point, somewhat in front of the beam that will be stationary when the spot is moved, but which will cut the light from falling onto the audience. This mask should be used, as many people with defective vision among the audience are annoyed by stray and vivid color lighting being allowed to get out of its proper sphere. 2. "Ghost" Shows in Spotlight Beam (a) — Faulty carbon setting. It is the crater image which you project, so determined by test the best angle and setting to give desirable, clear crater, without clouding with shadows.
