Drama 16 Stage Lighting

Time: 11:10pm

I took this photo using my phone flashlight and a Dr Pepper bottle in the drounge. I used the light as footlight, casting a shadow of the bottle behind it.

Theme: Single Source Light

Description: I keep getting stand up comedy videos recommended to me, so for a single source theme I figured I would use an actor on stage with a single spotlight creating frontlight with no horizontal angle.

This photo is a man sitting in front of a lamp, and the whole room is dark, only this lamp shines, so I think it is a good example of single source artificial light.

However, I did not come to the last class, so I’m not sure if my angle color and lighting key diagram is right or not.

The man in this picture was my supervisor at the summer camp where I worked, Tel Yehudah, for the summer of 2019. His name is Teague. We were on a “shmira” shift, which meant we were part of the group responsible that night for making sure campers stayed in their bunks past lights out. Part of the shmira equipment was this huge flashlight that we were supposed to use to spot and identify campers. On this particular night, for whatever reason, we had balloons. Teague pressed the industrial flashlight against the balloon and it glowed this cool neon green as seen above. I love this picture so much. The color and glow created by the flashlight combined with the balloon is so slimy and unusual and it reminds me of how much fun it was to work with Teague.

Theme: Single Source of Light

This is a photo from my senior year where I was performing in the Nutcracker at my high-school. This photo comes from the final moment in our show where the Cavalier and Sugar Plum Fairy pose together and a single white spotlight above them is the only thing on.

When I think about a single light on in a room, I think back to when I would stay up late with a desk light on while I read. Because the lamp is the only source in the room, the dark ominous background contrasts with the bright white light on the subject. The angle of the light also creates shadows across the subject, so as to barely light her, and have the full intensity of light on the pages of the book.

Single Light Source Photo

This photo is from a photo shoot that only had one light source and I picked it because I felt I could easily identify which side of his face was light and how steep the angle of the light was.

Time: 9am

Objective: The sunlight shining through the blinds casting light streaks across the wall

Subjective: It gives me a sense of warmth. The light through blinds wakes me up and helps me get ready for the day  ahead.

Time: 3:00 pm

Location: outside Schaeffer’s Black Box

Objective: I was sitting on the bench and it was a very sunny day. The sky was a solid light blue with little to no clouds. I had finished drinking the chai latte from my glass french square bottle and settled it down on the bench beside me. The sun was reflecting on the glass and highlight the edges and rims of the glass bottle. The sunlight was also hitting me straight on the face.

Subjective: The sunlight reflecting off the glass bottle created for some interesting shadows and beautiful wavy highlights. The sunlight hitting me straight on the face made my skin look smooth but it also completely erased most of the dimension on my face. This moment reminded me of the what we learned earlier about lighting positions and angles and how having a direct light on your face will wash out most of your features. Overall this moment felt very positive and happy because of the bright light and blue skies.
