There are eleven cuing problems below. Each has a short piece of music that goes with it. Write a sequence of light cues that begins with one look and changes dramatically to arrive at the second look. The transition time should match the length of the music. Use the music to visualize how the stage should look. You may use multiple cues in each sequence. Determine where in the music your cues should happen. This might be based on specific changes in the music that you can recognize. You can also use the exact time-code in the music. Stage managers and light board operators will often use these same methods in production.

Submitting work

Depending on the technology being used and parameters of the assignment, each instructor might tailor the options below.


Option 1: RECORD & RUN CUES
Record your cues within Cue Builder using the RECORD & RUN CUES function. Run the music in one tab and run your cues in another.



Option 2: SCREENSHOTS
Capture your cues within Cue Builder using the SCREENSHOT function. Create a Google Slides or PowerPoint show with timings built in. Launch the music at the beginning of the presentation and let it run throughout from another tab. Deliver the slide show as a link or as an email attachment.



Option 3: LOAD & SAVE
Record your cues within Cue Builder using the RECORD & RUN CUES function. Then, SAVE your project using the LOAD & SAVE function. Load the cues back into Cue Builder. Launch the music in a separate tab. Use RUN CUES to play the cues back, but deliver the cues if necessary by including the downloaded SAVE File as an attachment. Create a Google Slides or PowerPoint show with timings built in. Launch the music at the beginning of the presentation and let it run throughout from another tab.
