Drama 16 Stage Lighting

1. Thursday 7:30pm on the steps to the uni-span.
2. I had my lighting moment as I was walking up the steps to the uni-span in the freezing cold and wind. The light was orange in color and lit up the doors as I walked in.
3. This light provided the promise of warmth as I zipped up my jacket and ran toward it in the freezing cold as I was coming back from the south side of campus. The light felt welcoming and I knew that once I passed through it, I would feel warm again.

3. Theme: Night Life

4. Description: In this photo there are only a few lamp posts lighting the street. Most of the light is coming from the neon signs hanging from the buildings. The neon light is reflecting off of the water on the road, and shining on the cars. This light consists of many bright colors, bringing life to the street at night. This photo fits this theme because neon lights demonstrate that even at night, the city is still alive and bustling.

1. In a car parked near home in the city on Feb 12.
2. Light reflecting through the front window of the car.
3. I was sitting in the car waiting for it to warm up. This was around the time we had the little snow storm. The front window was full of ice that has been sitting there for a while. The ice was see through, so the car parked in front of me turned on the the lights went on too. I saw it through the ice and it was interesting to stare at because it wasn’t blinding or hurting my eyes like it usually does. I could also see all the details on the ice and every little bump or crack as I kept staring. It almost looked liked the sun since it was so blurry. The ice looked really pretty as the lights reflected off of it, too bad I had to use the wipers to take it off.

Theme: Night Life

Description: Numerous spotlights are turned on, most are with a light blue-white gaze while four in the back are a light lavender. Each spotlight is going into a different direction, yet somehow is able to make a shape within the chaos. The environment around the light is a dark blue that is intensified by the crowd’s green glow props and green glowing parts of the environment. Most likely blacklight was used for this party scene.

Seeing this picture instantly raises my heartbeat and fills me with excitement. While this picture is a party, the way the lights and colors are arranged reminds me of a heavenly, welcoming place that fills you with joy. It makes me think of the song “Sleepyhead” by Passion Pit. This scene of light makes me want to continue staying awake.

1 In the upper props room of Adams, February 16. 2 pm

2 Sun light coming through the window and hitting the stacks of furniture.

3 I was in upper props looking for table legs; furniture is stacked high all around me. Pale sunlight steams through the window and illuminates little squares where ever it lands. The whole room felt more like a grandma’s attic with all the old furniture and the dust floating through the sunlight. It was all very peaceful.

2. Nightlife

3.  I chose this picture because one of the things I think about when I hear “nightlife” is going out for drinks.  The great thing about this picture is the foreground is in focus and the background is blurred. I think this shows a great contrast between how a night goes. The light on the bottles also has a lot of interesting angles and reflections.

1. Location: House on Front Street, February 11, 2017 at 10:45 pm.
2. Objective: A line of LED lights that illuminate red, then blue, and finally green, over and over. They are the only lights on, cascading the the small interior of the house party in the primary colors.
3. Subjective: As the music and tight crowd was drowning me out, all I could see was the repeating colors of red, blue, and green. These repeating color changes, hurting my eyes with its repetition, made me think about all the times I had been at a party or one of the bars. I would go, arrive, drink, and then head home. Doing this same thing over and over again to find some connection or fulfillment. Sometimes I would, other times I would not. Yet staring into those primary lighting colors made me realize that I would do similar patterns for partying.

1. Walking from Penn station to W 30th street on Thursday, February 16th, 2017
2. Sunlight was hitting a colorful building on the opposite side of the street from me.
3. I was having a bad day since there was an issue on the LIRR and I was running late to a rehearsal. As I emerged from the underground, i looked up and saw this ridiculously colorful building across the street, bathed in sunlight. These colors were so bright and colorful, they cheered me up immensely; putting a smile on my face 🙂

1. I took this photo on January 5, 2016 (London, England)
2. Theme: Night life
3. This is Nightlife to me because I would always walk past Big Ben on the way back from the bars. I loved how the light would interact with the designs on the tower. the clock face always seemed to smile no matter what time of night it was.  🙂

2) Night life

3) I choose this photo because when I think of night life, I think of bright lights. Night and dark is the best to show big, bright, flashing lights. For me going out the best at night because it seems to be more illuminating. When I go to an amusement park I like to be there at night so I can see a firework show or be on top of a roller coaster and view all the other bright lights from the games and other rides from below. The colors in these fireworks remind me of a party where you see all the flashing strobe lights in different colors and everyone is having a great time. Fireworks like this also remind me of the city were you look up and see all the bright buildings and there is always something going on. It is a pretty sight to see and it makes me feel excited.
