Drama 16 Stage Lighting

DATE/TIME/LOCATION: 2/14/2021 – 1:00 pm – Rivaaz, Indian restaurant in Pequannock, NJ

OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The light is leaking through the curtain, providing a slim amount of natural light. It is a huge difference from the bright, cool lighting reflecting off the snow from the outside. The white light from the fixtures in the restaurant is bright for 1 pm on Valentine’s Day, but the warmer than the light outside, highlighting the yellow walls and orange tables.

SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The crisp winter air pushes you through the door, allowing warmer lighting to warm you. As soon as I walked in, I felt comfortable, despite the entryway being physically almost the same temperature as the outside. There was not a huge gust of heated air, but the warmth of artificial light was enough to warm up to. The light provided a homey feeling after surviving the winter cold and the blinding, reflected light from the outdoors.

Time: Sunday evening, around 5:30

Objective Description: I saw a beautiful orange and pink sunset, and when I looked at it again a few minutes later, it had changed to vibrant red.

Subjective Description: As I was leaving Michaels, I looked to the left to see an amazing sunset on the horizon. The sky was a vibrant wash of orange and pink. I attempted to take a picture of it, but the picture couldn’t even come close to capturing its majesty. I looked at the sunset a few minutes later and it had changed completely. It was now nearly the same attention-grabbing red as the stoplights on the road. I couldn’t believe how drastically the sky changed in a matter of minutes. The sunset was such a beautiful surprise and a reminder that change can happen quickly but often has wonderful results.
