Drama 16 Stage Lighting

Date: 5/5/23

Time: 7:00PM

Location: Walking down the ramp from the library towards Hofstra Hall

Objective: Sunlight coming through the clouds shining a singular ray onto the H shaped bush in front of Hofstra Hall.

Subjective: As finals approach closer and closer, the weather has been getting better and better, dangling a hook in front of everyone saying “haha it’s summer and you’re still in school.” The light outside of Hofstra Hall is no different, shining solely on the H with clouds everywhere else. The lighting was taunting, but also inspirational since we’re so close to the end of this semester.

Theme: Summer

Summer, to me, means a nice walk through a park on a warm sunny day. This is a park that is relatively close by to me and I always love how pretty it looks especially when the sun hits it on an early afternoon day.

Summer to me means late nights playing softball with my friends. Me and my friend are in the shadows in this picture but on the dirt you can see the harsh, cold over head lighting from the stadium lights. The feeling of these lights feels like summer to me.

Photo taken by me- 7/14/22 in the Outer Banks

For the past few summers, my family has gone and stayed on the four wheel drive beach in the Outer Banks. On this part of the island are wild horses. They do tours of this part of the beach for people to see these horses. Sometimes they come up to the houses and look in the windows if they can.

Theme: Summer

Description: To celebrate the long journey of graduating high school, 6 of my close friends and I took a trip to the beach for 3 days at the end of last June. This summer, we want to plan another trip together, not necessarily at the beach but somewhere fun, or to plan to go see a concert or something else over the summer while we all have time together.

Theme: Summer

Description: Summer is where the days last much longer. I tend to spent most of my free time in summer, roaming the city and visiting museums and galleries. This photo was taken while walking by the lake in Central Park around 8pm and the sun was only beginning to set. The colors are warm and bright, specifically an insanely bright yellow at the horizon with oranges and bits of blue littering the sky. The warm colors really push that summer vibe, even the blue has a warmer, lighter hue to it.

For me, summer is the time when people go to the beach. Beach and sun shines is the main point of summer. Mostly summer time is very hot, so the images will be sun shines at noon. However, I think summer is not only hot. This photo is very romantic, the sunset is not as strong as noon, but in summer, we play with our friends on the beach, it is the most beautiful and youthful thing ever.

Photo taken by me on June 1st, 2021, 8:30pm, at Tel Yehudah summer camp in Barryville, NY.

Theme: summer

Since 2019, I’ve worked at the same camp every summer. The camp is called Tel Yehudah (TY), and it’s nestled in upstate New York, right on the Delaware River. It’s hard to tell from this photo, but TY is secluded as hell. It lives in what’s essentially a gigantic clearing with trees on all sides and the river as a natural border. There’s no cell service. It’s one of my favorite places on Earth. I’ve spent five of my last seven summers at TY, and the COVID summer working for TY in a virtual way; basically what I’m saying is that to me, summer is synonymous with TY. One of the most beautiful things about the TY landscape is the sunsets we get. The thing about this photo that makes it so summery is the fact that I took it at 8:30pm – the sun had only just set. I love the way the sky becomes a painting full of watercolors in pinks and blues and periwinkles. There’s this vast expanse of sky over TY that provides a perfect blank canvas for sunsets, and I don’t get that anywhere else.

This photo I found online while looking specifically for something that had a nice evening vibe. Summertime is know for the longer days and shorter nights, but I find that summer evenings are some of the best times to exist. In the photo it seems to be early dusk, most of the landscape in the background is in shadow and silhouetting against a dark blue sky. The sunset either just happened, or is across the sky on the other horizon. Under the cover of this porch there are two other sources of illumination that give contrast. The first is an exposed overhead bulb, good old fashion incandescent with a warm splash of amber light. Around the edge of the porch is a bunch of fairy lights that are loosely hung so as to dangle and overlap somewhat — which look to be just a hint warmer than the bulb. These artificial sources provide a warm glow that envelops this quiet and contemplative space. It is separated from the outside world, but only somewhat. A mere few steps away is everything else that life has to offer, but under this little wooden roof is a place to sit and enjoy a bit of peace. It feels calming, the kind of spot you could enjoy in so many different ways with or without anyone else involved.

To me, summer means late nights spent outside next to a fire.
