26/04/2016 Setting up a projector.

Today we set up a projector in the ceiling of the Drama studio for a GCSE exam, we had to come up with an equipment list then go to the store cupboard and find the equipment that we would need to use. The equipment we needed was a projector, projector ceiling mount,VGA cable, power cable and the projector remote. We then went back to the drama studio and assembled the projector on the IWB which was going to be projected on the wall so we didn't need to assemble a screen as well.
