Statements
Detailed information about what portion of the performing area is illuminated by each fixture, what scenic elements it is specifically lighting or not lighting, how soft or sharp the edges of the beam are, how a projected pattern is oriented, etc. are documented in the Focus Charts. Measurements of stage locations, small drawings, shorthand symbols, and even colors may be used to record information needed to exactly recreate the fixture's orientation and optical setup should it be knocked out of its assigned focus for any reason. Focus Charts are typically organized in Instrument Schedule sequence, on letter or legal size pages, and may show only a dozen or fewer fixtures on a page.It is worth noting that while the other documents usually are single-sided, Focus Charts are sometimes double-sided and the relationship between information on facing pages, which often show fixtures whose physical locations and lighting purposes mirror each other, is important.Focus Charts tend to be used for productions that are planned to run for a long time. The maintenance of the show after the designer moves on to other projects is often in the hands of stage management and electricians who may not know the original design intent. (English)
