Drama 16 Stage Lighting

Date: 3/10/23

Time: 8:54 P.M.

Location: the Playhouse

Objective: there’s a string of paper lanterns and a single spot on an actress on the otherwise dimly lit stage

Subjective: I run the spot for that scene and spotting that actress on that stage for that scene brings me much joy

Date: 3/10/23

Time: Noon

Location: women’s changing room in the Fitness Center at Hofstra

Objective: fluorescent square lighting tiles lining the ceiling make the entire room brightly and evenly lit. The floor has a reflective property that makes it shinier directly underneath the ceiling lights.

Subjective: I know this sounds obvious, but it feels like a gym changing room. There are no shadowy spaces, nowhere for anything to get lost, just tons of locker-covered walls and floors and benches. It’s comfortingly bare and the kind of place where you might want to hunker down in case of an apocalypse, or go to avoid nightmares. Everything is aggressively illuminated. No secrets here.

The lampposts and headlights were shining on the highway.

The night sky was completely black and yet, on this small section of highway there were individual lampposts staggering alongside the road, lighting our way home. The car headlights shined similar to a kid holding a flashlight in the woods. Though the lamppost dissapeared into the distance, the headlights continued to keep our immediate surroundings lit and safe.

Date: 3/4/23

Time: Middle of the afternoon, around 2PM

Location: Philadelphia flower show

Objective: Grounded lights shining up through the flower petals.

Subjective: Nature is a beautiful thing. Creating a show to show off the splendor and magnificence makes it even more beautiful. The lights shining through the petals bring out the colors, each arrangement telling its own story. Everyone you see wonder and excitement, color and vibrance, taking the time to see and enjoy nature is a beautiful thing.

Theme: Bizarre

Description: Bizarre means unusual and out of the ordinary, and I think this image of a perfume bottle does a good job of expressing that. The colors in this photo are very vibrant and are complimentary colors(cyan and red). Complimentary colors such as these create an interesting image but also creates discomfort. Also the shapes created in the background remind me of the use of gobos. The use of gobos can create shapes that are not shapes you can see normally in everyday life.

Theme: Bizarre

This is a photo of an aurora borealis and I feel that it fits the description of bizarre since its not something you are completely used to seeing and often times has light colors in it you wouldn’t associate with nature such as the strong green.

Theme: Bizarre

I chose this photo since typically the moon does not appeal blue, especially from my house in Maryland. The lighting makes it feel like a real life scene taken from a fiction movie. it makes me feel as if people are about to go to battle, but the spirit of the lake is about to appear out of a misty pond.

Photo taken by me at June 4th, 2022

This is a picture that I took last year, in Happy Potter exhibition. This room is Hogwarts dinning hall, although it looks a little scary because of the way I took this photo. I choose this because I like how the red, blue and yellow all in the photo. And the candle that light up, the dragon which looks creepy, makes this photo bizarre.

Description: I love the energy of this picture. It’s me from four years ago, on a field trip of sorts to the Museum of Illusions, and in this room, the lights were set up in the back to cast three different and differently-colored shadows when you stood in front of them. It’s so weird and so cool – one of those things that looks completely unexplainable until it’s explained, and after that it makes total sense. As a bonus, this is also a neat example of additive color mixing (for example you can see where the cyan and amber lights overlap to make green). Anyway, everyone should do a Superwoman pose in front of illusory lighting.

Description: there’s a really bright light in the center, but the image still manages to look and feel dark. There are also people, but you cannot see them.
