Drama 16 Stage Lighting

Sunrise/Sunset

Sun rising over an barren industrial area of town. The light creates an illusions of glowing clouds and cascades over the edges of the building. the left side of the photo is still mostly dark, the angle of the sunlight not yet reaching it. The morning sunlight casts rose and amber hues across the sky

1) 4:15pm, 1/30/2019, Looking out of an east window in Vander Poel Hall

2) The snow was falling so heavily that it created a whiteout, during this moment the streetlights in the parking lot where activated and the amber glow of the lights was the only thing that could be seen through the snow.

3) The Amber light from the streetlight pierced through the blizzard, like a ghost returning through the veil.

I took the photo this winter in Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, Spain.

Theme: Sunset

Description: Obviously there is no visible sun or sunset in this photo but nothing could’ve been seen here without the sunset. Inside the church, there is no artificial light source at all. Instead, there are a dozen walls of colored glass that allow the sunset to come through the window so that the whole building can be brightened. Those columns stand still among the colorful natural light as if forests float amid the mist. And the red and yellow window glass kind of heats up the sunset, which adds more warmness and peacefulness at the end of the day.

1: 1/31/19; 12:30 AM; My Bedroom

2: Objective: The multicolored light bulb in my was on the color orange while the rest of my room was dark except for a candle by my bed. They light from each other bled together.

3: Subjective: My room is generally very dimly lit and I had just woken up from a short sleep. Seeing this gave me a comforting feeling since it made the flame of the candle look much more apparent. The warm colors of the two light sources made the air feel a bit warmer, which was a relief due to the cold weather.

Date: January 31, 2019 Time: 9:43 Location: My suitemate’s room

Objective Description: Simone’s new string lights are LED and change colors. The string lights were the only lights turned on.

Subjective Description: The colorful lights danced in time with the music played. The vibrant colors filled the room.

1. Date: 1/30/2019, Time: 8 AM, Location: My dining room
2. Objective Description: I was eating my breakfast before the lighting class. The dining table is against the wall and there is a window behind me. I accidentally saw that the shadow of my upper body was on the wall. The shape of my head and neck was clearly seen.
3. Subjective Description: Before the breakfast I just took a shower so my hair was still wet and messy. Every single detail of my hair was projected on the wall. When I was chewing food or drinking milk, my Adam’s apple was slightly moving up and down. With the morning sunshine behind me and these vigorous elements of my body, the energy of youth and health was about to burst out just like the sunrise.

1: January 31, 2019 at around 7 pm in my suit living room

2: Objective description: In our living room, we have a bunch of LED lights and a dj booth set up in there. The board was all lit up with it flashing different colors along with the LEDs changing colors according to the beat of the music. All of the main lights were turned off except for the LEDs to give the room more of a club-type feel.

3: Subjective description: As I was looking around at the lights and listening to the music, it made me remember the time I took a study abroad trip to Spain and on the last night before coming back, we went to a huge 7 floor club in Madrid. It was the same atmosphere I was feeling while sitting in my living room, and just remembering the amazing and fun time I had that crazy night in Madrid, Spain.

Photo taken by me near the Statue of Liberty on my phone

Theme: Sunrise/Sunset

Description: This picture has an ominous feel to since the light is coming from behind the subject. Normally when lighting something like this you create a shadow but of a standing object. The source of light in this image is the sun. By having the light come from behind, the silhouette of the object shows a lot more detail than if the light was in front of it. This fits the theme since in the background you can clearly see the sun starting to set.

I can not figure out how to rotate it because it’s right side up when I downloaded it.

Attribute: I took this picture leaving the Walmart parking lot.

Theme: Sunset

Description: This is a picture of the sun setting as I was leaving Walmart. It fits the theme because it is a sunset, obviously. It was snowing and windy so it was freezing for me to take this picture quickly. I especially like how the headlights’ lights are reflected the wet/icy ground in the foreground of the photograph.
