Drama 16 Stage Lighting

4. The lighting in this picture looks like it belongs in a rave or at a really big party. Instead, it is at a cross section seemingly in the middle of nowhere. The way the Light is shining, it seems like they’re stage lights, and they provide the feeling that stakes are high.

Description: While at a glance this image is simple in concept, it’s actually very bizarre the more you stare it. The bulb itself is floating yet lit, and the person being lit by it is covering it and staring at it like a live fire.

1. March 29, 2018 – 7:10pm – Hofstra Parking Lot
2. I was walking home and passed by a puddle. The puddle was about 5 feet wide and was translucent, showing the dirty road underneath it. I had saw that the street light had been projected onto the puddle. The whole pole and lamp were not visible on the puddle, just the light.
3. This puddle had gone from something that was dull, to something that was magical. The light brightened up the puddle, and made it almost look like it came to life. As the wind created ripples through the water, the light remained constant.

1. 3/27, dusk, Netherlands courtyard
2. At dusk, the lights were just turning on, everything had a slightly blue-ish hue because the sun was setting and it was somewhat overcast, and the lights weren’t fully on yet.  People could still probably walk around without lights, however, it was beginning to get dark.
3. At dusk, just as the lights were turning on to illuminate people’s way, the Netherlands courtyard was illuminated in a diffused, blue-y light, the light was light enough so that people could still walk without a flashlight or lights to light the way, however, it would soon be too dark to do so.  The light was cast in a way that it didn’t cast shadows, presumably because the sun appeared to have already retreated behind the clouds. The light shone a somewhat somber light because it was getting darker, and the connotations we have with the color blue, however, it reminded me of summer, where kids run around and play all day.

There is a couple standing in the middle of a room full of lights. The lights vary in color and sizes. I’m not sure how many lights there is exactly, but after reading the photographer’s description, I learned that the couple is standing in a room surrounded by mirrors that multiply the amount of lights to look like millions. I find this picture surreal because it looks as if the couple is standing in the middle of outer space and its them agains the world. It looks as if the universe around them reaches out for what seems like forever.

4) This photo of the Disneyland castle at night, with winter, exemplifies to me surreality because it goes in a way, against the way most people see Disneyland, and especially the castle. Taking the castle and photographing it at night, surrounded by fog with cooler rather than warmer colors goes against how many see the castle and especially with the fog, creates a dreamlike idea in me, and makes me question in a way, “what if” in my mind, seeing the castle in the fog allows me to think about the castle in a different way in part, because the lines are blurred and not as crisp, almost as if they’re fading into the sky.

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.
