Drama 16 Stage Lighting

4/16/24 – 11:07 AM – Outside of Emily Lowe Hall

Objective Description: The shadow of the railing on the steps of the building is broken and wavy, even though the railing is a straight object.

Subjective Description: The railing stands all day with strength and never wavers. However, when its shadow was reflected on the stairs beneath it, I was deceived about its shape. If I didn’t know any better, I would have believed what I saw on the steps, but I remembered to look up and confirm that the railing was intact.

4/4/24 Narnia on Campus at 9PM

Objective: it is dark outside and filled with trees, making it seem even darker. It is hard to see the statues, as they blend in like shadows since it is dark out. The only thing lighting the area are the poles with lights on them.

Subjective: It looks like a mysterious forest. Not in a scary way, but it feels almost mystical and makes you forget you are on a college campus. The lights make it comforting, but the dark trees and statues add layers of mystery.

4/15, 1:30 pm, outside of Bits and Bytes

Objective description: The sky is clear, and the sun is very bright and direct onto the Bits quad. There are shadows cast onto the sidewalk from the trees and umbrellas, and the colors of the grass and flowers are very vibrant.

Subjective description: The warm weather and sun has brought everyone outside, and the quad is filled with different friend groups soaking up the sun. There are sounds of laughter and birds singing, and the overall energy is very warm and happy.

Objective: As we stroll down the street, sunlight gleams off the facades of the buildings, illuminating our path toward the Empire State Building.

Subjective: The sun boldly announces the morning. Even though the buildings tower high, obscuring direct sunlight, we still feel the strength of its rays reflecting off the glass windows.

Objective: I was walking on campus and noticed the light on the trees around me were moving with the wind in the leaves.

Subjective: The moving lights in the trees were like gobos as I was dancing through the forest, imagining I was performing on stage, as if it were a magical light cue.

4/10/2024 – 11:54 pm – Hammer Lab

Objective: The overhead lights reflect off the hammer lab’s dark windows.

Subjective: The bright intensity of the led lights hanging in the ceiling tiles provides an over-sensory feeling for the students working in the room. Since the lights are unnaturally bright, the lights reflect against the windows into the dark night, giving the human eye only the reflection on the glass instead of the outside nightlife before them.
