Drama 16 Stage Lighting

1. Tuesday, May 17th, around 8:00am. My dorm looking out to Oak street and the tress behind Stuyvesant.
2. There is a shadow from the building and the taller trees making it so some leaves appear to be greener than others.
3. With the sun on the other side of the building, I was able to see all of the shadows and where the light hit without the worry of being blinded. There was very little wind and no clouds, so it seemed as though that the leaves that were getting sun, had been getting sun for a while. These leaves looked like they were glowing green and started to reflect the sunlight. This was a nice contrast to the leaves that were in the shadows, getting no light. Where the leaves with sun seemed to be alive and have a mind of their own, the leaves in the shadows seemed mopey and like they had no movement to them. It gave off the illusion that the minimal wind only affected the leaves that had sun.

Rex, standing center stage wearing a bright orange jumpsuit, being front lit by a soft white spotlight. The fog in the sky creating a natural haze for the lights to exude off of, and the environment is so lively. The discoball flowers in the back of the stage refracting all the tiny light particles back into the audience creating a 360 party in the stadium.
