Drama 16 Stage Lighting

1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: Hempstead Turnpike, 2/24/2021, around 12 pm

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The sun is brightest this time during the day and the snow makes its glow that much more intense. I was driving and as soon as I turned the corner I was blinded by the reflected sun.

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: Such a beautiful sight can be dangerous. The sun supports life, illuminating all of the world’s beauties, but it can be as frightening as it is enticing. The fear that comes with blinding light-no matter how long-is enough to take your breath away. The sheer juxtaposition of something so beautiful making you uncomfortable is unfathomable in itself. Light can make your heart flutter before it makes it drop.

1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: Thursday, February 25th 2021, sometime past 10PM, in the main dining room at HOFUSA.

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The overhead circular lights that hang from the ceiling in the HOFUSA dining room.

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The lights are circular in shape and distribute soft, white/yellow light. They give off a relaxed and chill feeling. The lighting encourages you to relax and enjoy a delicious meal. The lights work to create an authentic diner feel.

1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: 2/21/21- 5:00 pm

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: In the middle of the unispan the cars were passing by during rush hour and the sun was setting.

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The sun is setting but the real stars of this show are the electric pink skies. They appear to be weighed down by darker air above them causing the strip of pink to contrast deeply against the purple clouds. The silhouette of each car, person, tree, and piece of infrastructure makes this scene feel like a moment frozen in time.

1. WHEN/WHERE: February 22, 2021, 5:35pm; My first-floor bedroom window in Suffolk Hall
2. OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: It is completely overcast, but the sky is glowing pink, along with some blue in the distance.
3. SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: As I sit on my bed, I notice a pink glow coming through my window. The sky has gone from a blank white to a blooming rose. Its petals rain down and make the whole world pink. Beyond the leafless trees is a patch of blue, creating a beautiful gradient. Who knew that a completely cloudy day could have so much color?

1.  The sky on my street, this past Wednesday, Mid-morning
2. The light sky was surrounding everything. I noticed the light just walking outside.
3.  There is something about finally seeing the sun and the sky after days of snowstorms and murky weather. The sky revealed everything that was once being covered by gloominess and dirty snow. The sky was so bright that I instantly felt the exposure of the earth, the things around me, and the atmosphere. The light sky gave a sense of openness. Nothing hovering over me, nothing pulling me down. All there was an open ceiling covered in warm and blue lightness. I felt like I could fly

DATE-TIME-LOCATION:  February 20th, the Hofstra Library at 5:23 pm 

OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The sun setting in the distance giving the faintest outline of the cities skyline. 

SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The setting sun in the distance caught my eye as I was studying in the library. I wanted to see more so I stood on the radiator peering over the top window I hoped that PSafe was nowhere nearby. The city outlined by the bright oranges of the leaving sun made me smile. I sat back down to finish my work as the sky went dark. 

This photo was taken by me on Thursday, February 18, at 10am

Theme : Cold

I chose this picture because it was from the first time I took my puppy, Toby, out while it was snowing. The ground is covered in snow while it is still falling. The puppy’s nose also has snow on it as he was digging his face into the snow.

2) This photo was taken by me in Leeds, Utah, near Zion. This was a tent or “glamp” I was staying in located at a RV park.

3) THEME: Cold

4) DESCRIPTION: Although the inside was warm, the focus is on the night sky and the cold feeling I get when I look at this tent. Literally the weather was about 15 degrees, but when I naturally see the tent, I am reminded of what the tent is supposed to do, block the cold air. The flickering lights give the sense of winter and the photo tells holds a place of trying to stay warm with a good night’s rest for a hicking adventure the next day. I chose this photo because this is a good feeling of cold. It’s a fun suffer from the chills because it’s part of the hiking journey.

theme: Cold

I chose this because of the mist mixed with the flowers. The grey gives off the cold and damp feeling. The light just above the trees is very bright and complete contrast. I like how the trees look very tall and thin, and seem to go on forever into the mist. The ground seems crunchy with a little frost, or damp with dew. This photo is pretty and ominous at the same time, just like how the cold can be scary and comforting.

WHEN? February 21st, 2:00pm

WHERE? My bedroom

OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: Light coming through blinds.

SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: Sunlight peers through slits, illuminating me with strips of warm light. The blinds try to keep the sun at bay, nevertheless light always prevails.
