2. This is a picture of a stage weight. The stage weight was weighing down
the boom so it wouldn’t topple over if anyone put pressure on it or it was
knocked. This ensures a safe working practice.
These images show wires being taped down. On booms the
wires are being taped down by black LX tape. Wires on the
floor are being held down black gaffa tape apart from when it
around the door. Then wires were taped down by white gaffa
tape so it was clear to the audience and performer that it was
there. This ensures a safe working practice.
