Drama 16 Stage Lighting

3) THEME: Surreal

4) DESCRIPTION: The way this photo uses such harsh light to hide the face. The thing that makes it bizarre is the human fear of the unseen. The unseen which is something that makes us worry as such the way light can also block out the other side of the face.

Theme: Surreal

This is a photograph of a women in front of a sunset making some sort of gesture. Even though this picture lives in a realistic environment, the way the woman’s body is lit from the back looks unnatural. We can see all the edges and curves, but we cant see any detail on the surface because the light comes only from the back. The peach over whelms the land and dictates what is seen or not seen. An image like this reminds me of a intense dream where you follow a mysterious figure through a unrecognizable world.

1) 2/27/2018 2AM at Neverspan

2) Looking out west towards the stadium and the major roads appear from the middle of the Neverspan at night had an odd contrast. On the outside only the blinking of soft orange lights caught my eye. Surrounded by either darkness or the harsh white of cars and buildings it was this nice calming blinking. While on the inside it was a harsh light white that surrounded everything, making the inside feel sterile.

3) When looking at the orange construction lights I felt some sense of safety or calmness almost. The sharp contrast between the darkness and the bright white allowing for a zen feeling of the in between. This contrast of dark and light and the in between, it truly is nice.

1.) My Room 5:20 am yesterday morning (3/28/18)  in my bed room.

2.) I am lying in my bed and woke up at 5am because I just returned from France where they are 6 hours ahead. The window is 45 degrees to my left, and is facing the East. There are no curtains on my windows. So at 5:20 a.m dawn began. The sun had not risen but the sky was lighting up and came into my room. The light spreads from my window to the adjacent wall, it runs along the wall in front of me, as well as the floor around my bed and the first 18″ of my bed where my feet are. The rest of my bed is not in the light because the bed is in a cove. The light is a dim dark blue and smoothly washes over everything in its ray of light.

3.) The beam is a calm relaxing blanket. Cooling down everything in the room. At night the room get minimal lighting by the warm street lamp. But at dusk the cool blue slides in, blowing away the heat. It feels like a new day in approaching, washing away the stresses and frustrations of the previous.

2. A pale bluish light shone through the window and reflected on the whiteboard. The light seemed to highlight every detail on the surface of the blank board.
3. The pale blue light gave me a simple, breezy feeling. It was a light that made me want to jump into it and leave trouble behind. It seemed as if it was meant to be on a flower but instead was just shining through a window.

3) THEME: Surreal

4) DESCRIPTION: This light installment in this snowy area creates a surreal feeling. Because of the contrast of the futuristic feeling light from the sleek shape of it and the insane value, with the natural and calm background. This looking very unreal and strange is what creates the surreal atmosphere. Even though it is very surreal, it still feels as if this otherworld makes sense together. The color of the light goes nicely with the color of the sky and mountains, which is what makes it feel put together even in the strangeness.

There are two reasons this image is scary. The first is that the color of the image is unnatural. People do not normally see this color in nature, it would be seen in a fire normally. Another reason this image is scary is because we can not see everything clearly. We get scared when we cant see all the information around us, the fear of the unknown.

Lighting Observation

1. 1. Light lab Wednesday 9pm
2. 2. I was working on my 179 project in the light lap. I was working on a fire effect for one of my scenes and I accidentally created the perfect hue for fire. It had orange and a light yellow mixed in. Then the red from the LEDs up top added in the red accents. The fire light come in from the rear window and hit the actors from USR.
3. 3. The fire scene created a feeling of intense fear. The stage was beaming red from the window and the set felt like a hot burning oven cooking the cast inside. The light creeped in over time until it hit full intensity.

2) I took the photo last weekend on campus

3) THEME: Scary

4) DESCRIPTION: Because of how the light only shines on half of their faces creates a mysterious and horror like feeling. The majority of the photo is dark and creepy appearing. This feeling comes across because of the absence of light. Also, the warm amber, almost leaning on the red side of the color, creates this creepy feeling as well. It seems like the light is almost “coming for them.” Overall, the photo is very creepy from the way the light hits the girls’ faces and the lighting behind them about to take them away.

1) March 16-5:58pm-LIRR train to Penn station

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The sun was coming in from the train window on the right on me. Because the sun was setting, the light appears to be warmer than normal. The light hits my friends whole bodies sitting across from me. The light also came in a shape of the window, which was a rectangle. The sun light does not hit me directly but does reflect off indirectly.

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: Here the lighting created a happy and calming feeling. Even with the sharp edges of the shape, it did not feel harsh. The shape of the light acted like a frame around my friends. The light felt calming because of the color of light. It was warm and welcoming, which created this calming feeling. The way the light framed my friends made me feel very happy.
