Drama 16 Stage Lighting

From pinterest.

I like the dreamy tone set by the light glares in the image. It gives the whimsical feeling of spring from soft colors complimented by the brightness and warmth of the light in the image

Setting: Equipment Room Loading Hall, LHSC, 5pm Mar 13th

Objective: A Fluorescent Light Reflects off of a semi-glossy black-painted door. The reflection is semi-specular and results in a rounded and diffused shape.

Subjective: An echo of the light above, almost remembered. A Hazy memory in a jet black void, marred with scratches and imperfections. Almost there, almost not.

For me, the most beautiful parts of spring are not those which border on summer, but those that break the crust of winter. The first few days, such as those that we aren currently experiencing, in which the air is warm and the sun shines brightly. I wanted to capture that feeling of life and warm sunshine by observing light casting through tree branches. This particular image was captivating as you can see the light diffuse through the branches, altering their colour, and the remaining beams caught in the morning haze.

To replicate this photo with lighting instruments would be difficult, as all of the light is motivated by the sun. That said, I would likely select a large, open face light with a wide beamspread for the primary lighting source. I would consider fresnels for their parallel rays but worry that their spread would be too narrow. I would also gel the light with CTS. The remaining light would be overhead softlights with a light ctb and maybe some additional diffusion.

One of the best parts of spring is when it is nice out, and our modern professors let us take class outside. In the background, you can also see that there are a lot of other classes outside because it is warm out, and there is an overall happiness and warmth to the picture. Aside from the picture being taken literally in the spring, the bright sun and vibrant green grass give the picture a feeling of rebirth and renewing, which is what spring is all about.
