Drama 16 Stage Lighting

1.) Thursday Apr. 7th 2011, 12:00 A.M. Behind Emily Lowe Hall.

2.) A flickering fluorescent bulb in a lamp.

3.) One of the three lamp-style fluorescent lights outside of Lowe 108 was flickering, and the effect was exaggerated by the reflection of the light in the raindrops as they came down. The lights have a medical bluish-white color, and so the flickering was reminiscent of a bug zapper in action. The effect had a rural, spooky feel, like something from a horror movie. It was disconcerting and very vivid. It took a while for my eyes to adjust to the pattern and learn to ignore it, but eventually they did.

1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: 02/10/11 Noon in my friends dorm

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: Fluorescent dormitory lighting

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: As I walked into my friends room the unnatural crisp fluorescent light flooded over their newly blank and uninviting walls. The emptiness that was reminiscent of the first day of college was instant. Depression choked all other emotions. Your heart went straight to your stomach.
