Drama 16 Stage Lighting

1. April 6, 2017 at 10pm outside Nassau Hall
2. Headlights from the cars are making cool effects on the wet surface on the road.
3. The light seems to be dancing on the water that was leftover from the rain. It was calming to look at and it helped me relax after the stress of the day.

1. I found this photo on Pintrest
2. Theme: Surreal
3. i love this picture because it reminds me of Dali and his work with time. Time is a fickle thing and i felt that Dali embodied that in all of his work. This is a tribute to him and the dream-like images that embodies surrealist work.

2. This photo is by Benoit Paille, a photographer based in Montreal.

4. The light source is levitating in the middle of the woods and hitting the thin trees with a warm yellow glow. It is strangely emitting light from every direction, even to the trees that stand behind it. It makes me wonder where the light came from and what it wants.

I chose this picture because it changes as you look at it. At first the egg looks huge, then the egg is just sitting on top  of the roof, and then the egg is hovering over the roof.  I also like that this is a real photo that has achieved a surreal vibe without being heavily photoshopped.

1. Thursday April 6, in the NAB during focus
2. a ghost light nearly blinding me but in a really lovely way.
3. I was finally on the deck level of the nab after 2 drama 5 labs on the grid. The ghost light was down center between me an where I needed to look. I was looking over the Ghost light when a light was turned on in the wing. It was like the light in the wing was pointing at the ghost light, highlighting it’s sturdy shape and the culture it represents.

1. Thursday, April 6th, 2017; 2:45pm; Inside the Financial Aid Office Building, South Campus
2. A dreary day juxtaposed with a brightly lit, white overcast sky.
3. Since April brings showers, I thought it would be fitting to start April’s first lighting observation with one involving rain.  It fits perfectly with this week’s theme as well, as the light created an almost unreal landscape.  Waiting upstairs in financial aid, I happened to glance out the window to see the campus with a rather dreary disposition; the trees seemed to hang a little lower, and everything seemed to be a bit grayer.  With the rain, it painted the picture of another drab April shower.  But as I looked up, I noticed that the sky provided an interestingly stark contrast to what was down below.  Despite an overcast sky full a clouds, the sun was putting up a valiant fight to make its presence known, and it was succeeding – its bright, indistinct wash created a contrast that made me stare a few seconds longer, intrigued.

1.  Found on Izismile.com, photo manipulation by Sarolta Ban; http://izismile.com/2010/07/13/beautiful_surreal_photomanipulations_32_pics.html
2.  Theme: Surreal
3.  I found this picture to be fitting for the theme because, much like the definition of the word ‘surreal’, it is a very unnatural photograph.  More importantly though, the lighting used to create the image really sold the surreal aspect of the picture; had the tree been front-lit, I think it would have produced a more serene and happy image.  However, because of the way the lighting casts shadows and darkness onto the water, and the way the tree and the boat are highlighted through the backlight, it gives a truly unique feeling that the image and situation is absurd; it gives the feeling that something is definitely off, but in a captivating and almost mesmerizing way.

4. This photograph brings outside nature into one’s home. The photo makes it seem as though the two worlds seamlessly blend together. The lighting in the room is produced by a bedside lamp as well as the moon inside the bedroom. The natural and artificial light being within the same room, but lighting different landscapes created a surreal feeling of the photograph.

1. 3/5/17, 5:50PM, Lowe 216
2. The sunlight was coming in through the window and the color of Bree’s iced tea made the desk look pink.
3. As the sun was beginning to set, it began streaming in through the window. Bree set her passionfruit iced tea down on the desk, the sun hit it at just the right angle and it made her white desk look pink. It was a nice moment and a break from the stress of the day.

3. This picture is surreal because the position of the mirror makes it seem like the girl’s body has disappeared. The lighting helps this by adding a glowing effect, making it seem as though she is something out of a dream.
