Drama 16 Stage Lighting

 

Fall Sunset Hawaii

I chose this photo to represent a fall sunset in Hawaii because out of all the sunsets that pictures have captured in Hawaii, this picture seems the least intense of them all. I feel like fall in Hawaii is still intense and colorful but almost muted in a way.

Long Island Spring Sunrise

I chose this picture for a Long Island spring sunrise because you can see that theres a hint of growth in the vegetation that has assembled at the bottom of the grass, however it still looks frigid and cold.

New England Hot Summer Day

I chose this picture for a New England hot day at noon because on a hot day in New England everyone goes to the beach. This is a beach on Cape Cod so you know it is hot.

For a Fall Hawaii sunset, I created a romantic scene, with the sky light up in pinks and purples. The couple dancing is primarily light by backlight and sidelight in the same colors as the backdrop to create a silhouette effect.

To create the illusion of a peaceful sunrise, I used white, yellow, light pink, and light orange light coming from stage right and illuminating the front part of the model’s body. I also lit the back part of her body with dark blue light, creating depth and highlighting the colors used on the backdrop. Because the sun would hypothetically be low in the sky, I did not use any light above her head.

This light depicts a very bright midday sun with bright lights directly overhead the model, a blue sky, and front/side/back light in white, warm, and cool colors that simulate sunlight from all around.

I chose a hazy, snowy sky as the sun is beginning to set for the afternoon, so I lit the backdrop with a very light gray/green/blue to establish a dark, dismal mood. I chose the model that had two people in a position that seemed to me to imply tension to further accentuate this. I lit them very dimly, with similar blue and green colors from all directions and added a gobo to create the look of shadows from falling snow.

 

1. Fall Sunset in Hawaii

I chose this picture and the lights I did because I really like the purples and dark reds, and oranges that are made up in the sunset in Hawaii. I’ve never gotten to experience a sunset that has purple or creates purple and it really made me want to be right there.

4. Winter afternoon in Alaska

(Background at http://www.islands.com/sites/islands.com/files/styles/medium_1x_/public/images/2016/02/poipu_beach_kauai.jpg?itok=aGuGLWbm)

• Top RED 25%, R21 25%, R2009 75%

Spring Sunrise in Long Island:

(Background at http://www.loving-long-island.com/image-files/north-shore-beach.jpg)

Discussion: What was most interesting was the how these drastically different colors of grey and yellow are shown. Long Island’s lowland beach and misty environment give the sun its contrasting grey-blue shade.

Background:

• Top R65 full, R97 50%, R14 25%

Summer Noon Day in New England:

Discussion: For me, this is a typical day you would see in any place. The only difference is that New England has less clouds in the sky and has the waterfront and light landscape.

Background:

• Bottom: R97 75%, R74 50%
• Top R74 50%, R98 25%, R65 FULL
