Drama 16 Stage Lighting

Light red – Full

Deep straw – full

Tahitian blue – 75%

Tharon delft – 65%

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.

Corona’s whole thing is they try to associate the beer with being on the beach, and associate Corona as a summer “place”. The warm orange/yellow/amber light coming from above on a downward angle is used to represent a sunset on a beach. The colors of the light reflect the water on the deck, again, creating that happy summer feeling and allowing the viewer to associate the beer with summer. The color of the beer itself is highlighted from the light, making it look crisp and draw the viewer’s eyes to it. Of course, the lime slices are all perfectly in the bottle and shown off thanks to the light.

Location: IM Fields 9:30 PM, Thursday

Objective: It is dark outside and the sun has completely set for the night. There are large white bright lights lighting up the front of the field, but if you look further out in the field, it is completely dark. The light highlights the mist blowing in the air from the grass.

Subjective: There is an intense contrast between the lit up parts of the field as opposed to the dark field on the other side. The artificial lighting is intense, and it has a “game day” feel. The lighting is focused on one part of the field, making it seem important.

I found this photo of a girl online holding a light bulb at different angles, and how the angle effected the photo. This photo was a clear demonstration of how when a single source light is only coming from one side, it completely loses the other side of the girl’s face.

Location: Times Square 7AM – Friday

Objective: Right around sunrise, my friend and I got off the bus at 42d Street and 8th Avenue. The whole sky was pink and orange and left a pink tint on the cars and on people’s skin. There were also the huge lights from buildings and signs in Times Square.

Subjective: The lighting created a contrasting feeling. The pink and orange sky seemed created a warm, calm, and early morning feel. However, the big bright lights from the buildings made the light very abrupt and it did not feel like morning. Together, it felt like both types of lighting created dissonance.

This is a photo I took in April 2020. Flowers obviously signify spring, but the white, pink and green colors really get across the fact that it is the spring time. The white light coming out from the sky reminds of the “rebirth” feeling of spring. The brightness and vibrance of the photo really pop and emphasize feelings of spring time. If I edited the photo to make it paler or darker, I do not think the vibe of the photo would be the same.

Science Innovation Center  – 3:34 PM

Objective: There are lots of white overhead lights lighting up the grey and silver walls. Everything in the room looks science-y and new, and the lights show off the technology clearly. It looks just like hospital lighting.

Subjective: The bright lights and silver walls make the room look futuristic. It makes me feel like the technology in the science innovation center is going to come to life like a robot sci-fi film.

This photo was online, from an online website called girllikear.life. They are an online store selling gobos. For me, gobos really work well to create bizarre lighting, just because you can take something and make it look really unnatural and jarring. For example, the human is this photo looks offputting with the holes in the skin made from the gobo. Also the black and white color makes it seem even more dramatic and bizarre.
