An exmaple of a sound cue sheet:
This sound cue sheet has the page number on the first column, which shows which page the sound cue is. The second column shows the exact line where the sound cue would be. In the last column, a soundtrack link, and an indication of where the soundtrack should be played are given. This allows us to download the soundtrack from the website and store it into a USB stick which would then be used with a sound cue software, qlab. It's also very similar to a lighting cue sheet, the only difference is the information in the "effect column" is replaced with a lighting state, for example: "Pink wash with DSL spot".
An introduction to the cue sheet is very helpful for me. It made me come to a realization that having a cue sheet is a lot more organized and clear compared to annotations in a script, as I have experienced a few very messy annotated scripts before. But there was one thing that came to my attention, which is students who work on a play might not always know how to complete a cue sheet. After today, I aim to ask for a cue sheet on future plays that I will work on. If they need help to create a cue sheet, I will assist them to the best of my abilities.
