Course A Production Guide

Structured stage zones, built for spotcubexa productions.

spotcubexa maps every camera block, lighting area and sound position before a single cable is run, so your Course A spotlight session stays organised from load-in to final take.

How it works

Four zones, one organised stage plan

With a shared floor plan and zone checklist, your crew moves through load-in, rehearsal and recording without stepping on each other's setup.

01

Camera blocks

Tripod positions and lens heights are marked on the floor and matched to the shot list before anyone touches a camera.

02

Lighting areas

Key, fill and back light fixtures are focused and logged per zone, so every position keeps a consistent look.

03

Sound setup

Microphone positions, cable runs and backup recording paths are checked at each station before roll call.

04

Organised workflow

A shared shot order and stand-by sequence keeps every zone lead working from the same production plan.
