Drama 16 Stage Lighting

I took this photo myself on the way back to campus as my dad and I were crossing the Verrazano-Narrows bridge. It felt very mysterious to me because of the fact that the road seems to have no end because of the fog, and you can barely see the top of the bridge. This was the first time it was ever this foggy, so it gave me a really uneasy feeling until we made it to the other side of the bridge.

1. Location: February 23, 12:40 am at the soccer fields near Colonial Square West entrance.
2. Objective: Street lights are surrounding the soccer field, lighting shine down upon the layer of mist. The entire field is lit up, but is unable to penetrate into the grass.
3. Subjective: Since there is mist covering the grass, there is the question about what is underneath it. What is hidden under the fog of night? There is a eery feeling that something is hiding underneath, wanting to get out. The look of this field makes me believe that an undead underworld or limbo is leaking into the land of the living. All in all, this misty field is a haunting sight to see.

4.  The photo has dim lighting and the moon isn’t shown in the picture so I thought that was kind of curious and mysterious. I always associate mystery with curiosity and eeriness. The picture is just lit enough to create a reflection of the trees off the water and the fog makes it so that you can’t see where the land stops and the water begins which I think is mysterious.

4. When I think of mysterious I tend to think of things that are darker with shadows and trees. I like this picture for those reasons. Its not quite symmetrical which makes my brain confused which adds to the mysteriousness of the picture. I also like how it takes a minute of looking to realize that there are signs and a light on the street. You can’t really see where the trees end or where the road goes which also helps lend itself to the mysteriousness.

3. I take an interest in this picture as being mysterious because of the shadow and the color. I love the purple because it has an eerie vibe. The purple is also light enough to reflect a shadow. The shadow has an unknown story. We can see there is a shadow but we don’t know exactly what it is. It could be a person, animal, object etc. Who knows… it is a mystery.

3.  To me there is nothing more mysterious than being told not to do something. These signs block access to the Aokigahara forest at the base of mount Fuji, also known as the forest of death. That can’t be known by just looking at this photo thought this sign is cutting off entry to what looks like a lovely forest. Beyond the ropes the sun shines through the trees making whats beyond look innocent, even if it isn’t.

3. To me, the most mysterious things in the world is space, especially since NASA’s announcement (ALIENS???). I love this picture because it is one of the most vivid pictures of the stars that I have ever seen. It almost appears as thought night doesn’t exist there because it is so bright. I also love the mysterious red glow of the tents in the foreground that add another level of mystery. This picture was taken at Cherry Springs State Park in Pennsylvania, which my roommate and I are planning to visit on our road trip this spring break, and it is considered one of the best places to see stars in the world.

Theme: Mysterious

Description: One out of 11 photos I did, this was taken late in the afternoon outside with a single light used on my face. Besides the white Bauta mask, the only thing that is seen is my hair and my eyes. What am I think when I look into the lens, right at Mike the photographer? Do I want to hurt him? Am I holding back my anger? Is it just the camera angle that makes me look threatening? That is something that I am interested in revealing with acting. To me, acting is taking off the mask, while in real life you are forced to keep it on.

4. The lighting in this photo, or lack thereof, gives a mysterious feeling to the photo. A specific image comes into my mind when I hear the word “mysterious”. It is the image of a room lit only by a single light, leaving the rest of the contents of the room unrevealed. The unknown in this photo is what I think gives the photo a mysterious feeling. The only light in the room is coming from the door. This light is minimal and partially blocked by the person standing in the door. The back lighting on the person turns them into a shadowy figure instead of lighting their features. This photo fits the theme of mystery because of the small sliver of lighting in the room leaves the rooms content and the person standing in the doorway a mystery.

3. When I think of mysterious I think of shadows, concealment, and secrets; a mystery is unknown, what’s being kept hidden.  This picture embodies the theme for me because of the how the lighting causes the shadows to fall on the ground and off of the walls; it feels foreboding and as if there is more there than meets the eye.  The darkness is compelling, and the single light source illuminates only so much, telling the viewer that there’s more there than meets the eye, but you have to solve the mystery to find out what more there is.
