Blue Jean – 08/05/2023
Q-Proj: Liv; T-Proj: Josh
SO: _🎵 not my lover 🎵_
Yeah, it was fine.
First time with Cinema Now! Sound processor was not on, so it was quite quiet, but it was turned on in time before the quiet bit ended.
Kieran did screen file thingy again from admin side of Barco.

Before Midnight – 09/05/2023
Q-Proj: Zuzanna; T-Proj: Marnie
Yeah, everything went well. It was fine. Everything went well.
Liv tried doing a Thing with the iLight controls on the website to turn all lights off apart from one row, but got confused and turned everything to full brightness.
ZC: iLight training?
JH: Does everyone have access to iLight on the website? I thought only qualified people had access to it.
EL: Are you suggesting that ZC and LL are not qualified? /s "pipe down, you are one of three people 'in attendance'!"
EL: We don't teach iLight during training, so probably best to just refrain from using it. Probably just best to make a better interface with the new website.

4. Tech Officer's Report
- Projector needs moving. It's gonna be done over summer.
- Lift is probably not getting fixed this term. University has a quote to fix it, but not providing the money to do it.
5. Proj Procedure Changes
- If using the fire extinguisher as a prop to hold the lift door open, please ensure that the safety pin is inserted in the fire extinguisher when in use to prevent accidental discharge. (from the health and safety officer)
6. AOB
- KH: Please do your show reports. We are missing show report for Shazam!.
- EG: Does the where does early/late go in the title of a show report? In the brackets, or outside the brackets?
* EL: It doesn't really matter, we seem to use all sorts of formats including dashes and commas.
* SO: Will use a line next time.
- ZM: Are we going to fix the platter?
* EL: This sounds like a Tech Officer problem.
* KH: At the bottom of the priority list of broken shit.
- SO: Kisses lips, nope.
- KH: Quite often when projecting 35mm shows, it looks like the racking has been changed. Likely due to people gently stroking the projector when passing by. Please stop stroking the projectors. It's very odd.
Trainees asked to leave at 17:30, meeting ended at 18:32.
