Describe the room for projector and screen hire
The room and the presentation need to be considered together when discussing a projector and screen. Give Fables the audience layout and the information you have about the space, then ask which actual equipment and positions are proposed. The drawing supports their review. It should not apply a generic screen-size or brightness formula to a room and equipment arrangement that have not been assessed.
Show audience and presentation areas
Map audience seating and the proposed presentation/viewing area. Mark where people are expected to sit or stand during the presentation and explain the material they will view. Distinguish the presentation area from the rest of the event layout. A room's advertised capacity alone does not show how the audience will be arranged for your programme.
Describe dimensions and room light
Record approximate dimensions, existing screens and room-light information as observations. Label the measurements you can confirm and describe relevant windows or existing room-light arrangements. Ask the venue about anything you cannot establish from the visit. These observations help the supplier review the space without the organiser selecting a projector specification from an assumed room category.
Add fixed features and proposed positions
Show entrances, fixed features and possible equipment locations for review. Include doorways, permanent features and any existing screen or presentation equipment. Show possible positions as proposals, with photographs tied to the drawing. The route used to bring equipment into the room also deserves an entry if access differs from the audience entrance.
Ask for the equipment arrangement to be reviewed
Ask Fables to confirm actual screen, projector, placement and suitability for the supplied room/content brief. Send the room brief with the content and source information. Ask Fables to confirm the actual screen, projector, positioning requirements and suitability for the intended audience and presentation. Keep unresolved placement questions visible instead of treating a preferred position on your plan as an installation instruction.
Send an annotated room brief
Prepare an annotated room brief without calculating lumens, throw distance or a universal guest-to-screen formula. Give the drawing a date and identify the venue contact who can answer further questions. If seating, content or presentation positions change, flag those differences to the supplier. Keep the accepted equipment arrangement with the layout it was reviewed against, so the final event team can match the two.

Questions about this worksheet
Can we choose equipment using a guest-to-screen formula?
Provide the actual audience layout, room information and presentation needs, then ask Fables to review the offered equipment. This guide supplies no universal screen, brightness or distance formula and does not replace assessment of the particular proposed arrangement.
Should an existing venue screen be included in the brief?
Yes. Ask the venue what is available for this booking and who can confirm its details and operation. Share that information with the supplier so the actual existing provision and any additional hire request can be reviewed together.
