Drama 16 Stage Lighting

2) I took this photo inside my house 

3) THEME: Isolation 

4) DESCRIPTION: I feel like it’s important to find space in the house that makes you feel less like you stuck there all the time. I’m the kind of person that can get super bored, so watching lighting come into the house in different ways and getting outside has been pushing me forward.  

1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: 3/31/20 6 am Ocean city sitting on my dock

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The sunrise over the water 

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: Sitting on the dock watching the sunrise warmed me for the rest of the day. I’ve been really feeling trapped lately, so getting outside to watch this on my doc made me feel less like I was going anywhere. 

1.) I took this photo May 9th in front of a strangers house.

2) THEME: Spring

3) DESCRIPTION: Spring is most often associated with the days becoming longer and warm being introduced when cold was all there was for a time. This photo perfectly embodies this change to me. There is a split down the middle but it is an uneven split. One one side warmth, the other cool. Both sides have earthy tones and depending on the day one might overlap the other. I also enjoy how the sun was directly over this bush. It creates top down lighting where most of the plant is bright yet there are small patches of shadow on the bottoms of each flower. The days growing longer can be visually understood here. Spring has sprung!

1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: I had my lighting moment before this class on Wednesday the 25th, sitting and looking outside my living room window.

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The light had that early morning glow, peaking through the clouds you could see the rays of light reflected on different objects outside.

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: Stuck inside we are reminded of the beauty in the world, gazing out the window mesmerized by the rays of morning sun beaming upon the grass, tress, and brightly colored wings of the birds that glide by.

THEME: Spring.

4) DESCRIPTION: This photo portrays the lighting of spring as the sun leaves a warm yet still slightly chilled glow, peaking out of the clouds that were once a calming April rain shower. As the sun continues to shine through the clouds, its leaves a simple glow upon the newly bloomed flowers and leaves, and we know spring is here.

I took this photo in the early afternoon on April 17 last year on South Campus, right outside of Axinn Library.

3) THEME: Spring

4) DESCRIPTION: I have a habit of taking pictures of things that spark momentary joy. This means that at the height of Spring on campus, I often stop to take pictures of the way the bright sunlight shines on the flowers. The clearness of the April sky makes all of the colors breathe so much more vividly. The brilliant blue of the sky and the bright, lively colors of all of the blooming flowers feels like a dose of serotonin sometimes, even though the joy only lasts a bit. The pinks of the cherry blossoms outside Axinn made me very happy that day, and I remember standing under that tree in delight, looking at how the sun sparkled on all of the petals and the shadows they casted on us under the tree. I miss it, to be honest.

1) March 27th, 4:30 AM, my living room

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: Walking from my bedroom to the kitchen for a class of water, all of the lights were out, save for the dim glow of the golden butterfly wall plug-ins in the living room and kitchen.

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The still quiet of a late night in a house in the woods always has a mysterious horror movie vibe to it (we often joke about our house being haunted because of how odd the nights can feel). The dim glowing butterflies provided just enough light for me to see where I was going, as everything was just slightly illuminated in a dull golden tone. But I could not see enough to avoid the obstacles of the cat toys blocking my path. Mostly everything was silhouetted, rather than seeing the clear shape, making me feel on edge as I tried to maneuver my way through.

1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: 3-24-20 around 2PM, Mountain Standard Time. (5PM on East Coast) Chandler, Arizona in my beautiful backyard.

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: Hot beaming sun light, not a cloud in sight.

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: I’ve been on lockdown in Arizona but it is honestly one of the best things that have ever happened to me. I get to sit by the pool and hang out with one of my housemates from school since she came on spring break with me and now can’t leave. The weather here is phenomenal these past few days. Trying to take them in before the temperature hits 107 degrees and I try to avoid venturing outside.

Theme: Spring

This picture depicts the back of a woman’s head. She is frolicking through the tall grasses and enjoying a beautiful spring day. I’m sure the birds were chirping and the creek near by sounded peaceful. She is probably content in that moment. I would be.
