让我们来看看什么才是完美的背景幕布吧，该如何为您的舞台及活动做选择？

What is the perfect backdrop and how do you choose one for your stage or event? Let's find out!

为最佳的舞台活动背景布做选择可能相当困难。众多不同的布料和加工方式决定了背景幕的整体外观和感受，但显然，背景幕材料的技术规格和它的声光掩蔽性能也很重要。

Deciding on the best stage or event backdrop can be quite overwhelming. There are a lot of different fabrics and finishes available that determine the overall look and feel of the backdrop curtain, but evidently the technical specs of the backdrop material and its sound and light masking properties matter as well.

什么是背景幕？

What is a backdrop？

背景幕是指悬挂在舞台或布景后面的大块的纯色、印花或彩绘的幕布。背景幕最初是用作剧院的一种风景元素，现在出现在舞台表演、活动、会议、贸易展览等各种各样的场景中。背景幕通常由阻燃布料紧密缝制而成。它们为舞台增加了深度，在需要的时候可以把平淡的背景变成生动的场景。

The word backdrop refers to a large plain, printed or painted curtain hanging at the back of a stage or set. Originally used as a scenic element for theatres, backdrops now appear in all kinds of settings ranging from performances on stage to events, conferences, trade shows and more. Backdrop curtains are typically made from flame-retardant materials and sewn without fullness. They add depth to a stage and can turn a plain background into a lively scene when needed.

为什么使用背景幕布？

Why are backdrops used?

标准的剧院背景幕在绘制或印制上定制的艺术图案时可以奠定完美的基调，它也可以是纯黑色的，形成完整的黑色框或无限舞台幕。布景设计师使用这些阻燃的背景幕布来模拟十分特定的场景或气氛。

A standard theatrical backdrop can set the perfect tone when painted or printed with custom artwork, but it can just as well be plain black to create a full black box or infinity curtain onstage. Set designers use these flame-retardant backdrop curtains to simulate a very specific setting or mood.

传统上，帆布背景幕绘上摄影场景，就可以在舞台上创造另一个现实的幻境。这些经典的手绘背景幕中有些被妥善保存，完好无缺。但这并不是剧院的全部。活动背景幕布如今可以通过大型数字印刷技术，进行标识、定制设计和企业形象细节进行品牌推广。

Traditionally, canvas backdrops were painted with photographic scenes to create the illusion of another reality onstage. Some of these classic hand-painted backdrops are very well preserved add in mint condition. 

But it's not all about theatres. Event backdrops can now be branded with logos, custom designs and corporate identity details by means of large-format digital printing techniques.

它们可以吸引您的观众对重要事物的关注，从而产生一定的情绪，甚至可以指示空间，以指引游客正确的方向。

They can be used to inform your audience, create a certain mood, draw attention to what's important or even mark off spaces to guide visitors in the right direction.

如何使用背景幕？

在决定舞台、活动或者演播室背景幕使用哪种阻燃面料时，首先要确定在哪里并且如何使用幕布，这一点很重要。

When deciding on what type of flame-retardant material to use for your next stage, event or studio backdrop, it is important to first determine where and how the drape will be used.

纯色还是彩色？

Plain black or colour?

如果您的目的是创造没有任何干扰元素的背景，您需要吸光的黑色背景幕布来隐藏所有不相关的道具，仿造出无限的背景。黑色背景幕布十分基础，但关于它具有丰富的功能性。

If your goal is to create a background without any distracting elements, you need a light-absorbing black backdrop curtain to mimic the idea of infinity and hide all irrelevant items. Black backdrops seem rather basic, but there is quite a lot to say about a functional black drape. 

如果您的背景幕布是为了突出视觉上的体验，那就可以选择色彩丰富的天幕布或者使用特定的PMS/RAL色彩印刷您的幕布。您甚至可以通过给整个舞台或活动背景幕印刷上定制的艺术作品来创建完全独特的品牌背景。

If your backdrop is intended to stand out and make a visual statement, then opt for one of the colourful cyclorama fabrics or print/paint your drape to match a specific PMS/RAL colour. You can even create a totally unique piece of branding by printing your stage or event backdrop with your custom-made artwork.

室内还是室外？

Indoor or outdoor?

传统的仅供室内使用的背景幕布有很多种类。这些棉、涤纶、混纺的幕布具有国际标准的阻燃性能，在室内使用一定经得起时间的考验。

There's a wide range of traditional backdrop fabrics available for indoor use only. These cotton, polyester or mixed fibre curtains are flame-retardant to international standards and will certainly stand the test of time when used indoors.

另一方面，室外背景幕布通常由聚酯或者PVC制成，能够受潮湿而不收缩或者失去阻燃性，节日舞台及其他露天活动也需要用到网格背景幕，以确保通风。

Outdoor backdrops, on the other hand, are typically made from polyester or PVC to be able to withstand moist without shrinking nor losing their flame retardancy. Festival stages or other open-air events might also require mesh backdrops to ensure wind permeability. 

固定安装还是巡回使用？

Fixed or touring?

背景幕布在巡回演出中使用时，它必须满足与一次性使用并固定安装的背景幕布非常不同的要求。ShowTex系列包括以下这些类型的背景布面料，可折叠、无折痕、易于运输和足够耐用的巡回演出背景幕。甚至有一些不起皱的印刷背景幕，可以折叠而不影响印刷。

When taking a backdrop on tour, it must meet very different demands than those of backdrops for one-time use or for fixed installations. The ShowTex collection includes these kinds of backdrop fabrics that are foldable, crease-free, easy to transport and durable enough for touring. There are even some wrinkle-free printed backdrops available that can be folded without damaging the print!

无缝还是有缝？

Seamless or stitched?

当您要背光设置您的背景幕布时，最好选择宽大且无缝的材料。

When you’re planning on backlighting your scenic backdrop, it is better to opt for a wide and seamless material.

另一方面，反光背景幕布得益于那些更加经济的有缝幕布的使用。

Frontlit backdrops, on the other hand, can benefit from the more economical seamed alternative.

这一切都取决于舞台背景幕的最终尺寸，但有相当多的超宽背景幕面料可用。

It all depends on the final size of the stage backdrop, but there are quite some extra-wide backdrop materials available.

背景光的影响？

Backdrop light effects?

纺织品与灯具是天作之合。通过选择美妙反射光线或均匀散播光线的背景幕布，可以在舞台上创造令人惊奇的效果。

Textiles and lights are a match made in heaven. By opting for a backdrop fabric that beautifully reflects or spreads light evenly, you can create the most stunning effects on stage.

有些面料的背景幕布甚至可以用作投影幕，成为视频投射的完美银幕。

Some fabric backdrops can even be used as a genuine projection screen and serve as a perfect surface for video mapping.

背景幕布运动系统？

Backdrop movement?

移动的物体总会吸引观众的注意力，这是在舞台或活动中加入惊喜的绝佳方式。

A moving object will always grab the audience’s attention. Bringing your backdrop in motion is thus a great way to add an element of surprise to a stage or event.

使用KABUKI坠布系统突然使你的背景幕下降，连到卷轴，或在四周连接创新的背景与最美妙的揭幕系统使它完全消失。

Use the Kabuki drop to suddenly make your backdrop curtain fall down, attach it to a roll-up to make it disappear completely or combine the backdrop with an innovative reveal system for the most amazing unveilings around.

剧场的舞台背景幕和特殊的风景幕布可以由风景艺术家手绘，具有鲜明的图案和独特的纹理。与印刷面料相比，这些彩绘背景幕布往往更厚重，因为它们采用了更厚的薄纱或帆布制成的基本材料，但它们的魅力无与伦比，能立即为作品增添视觉趣味。

Theatrical stage backdrops and special scenery drapes can be hand-painted by a scenic artist with striking images and unique textures.

有时纯黑色背景太普通，定制的印花、喷绘或激光裁剪的幕布太浮华。这时，时髦的LED背景幕就可以发挥作用了。

Sometimes a plain black backdrop is too ordinary and a custom-printed, painted or laser-cut drape too flashy. That's when stylish LED backdrops will do the trick.

您可以用ShowLED经典星空幕来创建实景夜空，在舞台表演和活动中加入闪闪发光的星座。您甚至可以使用动态显示ShowLED变色型给背景添加一些色彩，或者在低分辨率的视频屏幕上用全动态显示的ShowLED动画型。
