Drama 16 Stage Lighting

March 15th, 2023 @7:00pm

I was walking to my dorm after class and I noticed two lampposts on campus were lit with different colored bulbs.

Although just 20ft apart, these two different lampposts each had their own characteristics to them. The further one, a warm bulb, appeared to radiate warmth, in turn making the dormitory closer to that source seem friendlier. On the other hand, the closer one, outside my window, was a bright white light. Yes, it was more efficient in lighting the area below, but it gave a harsh and stern tone when entering my dorm.

1. 4/20/2016, 9:47pm, Netherlands North Courtyard
2. Objective: The main source of light is coming from the lampposts outside of each house. There is a little light coming from students’ windows.
3. Subjective: Walking through the courtyard at night always feels like one of the skeevy night scenes from a really bad movie. The only light given are these foggy, orange bulbs that give off an unwelcoming feeling. That being said they don’t provide much actual light while they’re at it.
