Week 2: Production Arts Terminology & Vocabulary

In this course, we will study professional AV terminology. If you can't understand what artists and other engineers and designers are talking about,
how can you do the job? That's just it, it's just about impossible to do without some formal introduction.

The lexicon of the AV industry is unique and in many cases, overlaps one craft and another. This means that AV pros must understand not only their primary craft but that of the other crafts they are working with.  Stages and theaters are inherently dangerous places. A lack of understanding of what's being communicated can put you or possibly others in grave danger. A clear understanding of terminology is the primary pillar of the creed, Safety First!
