Drama 16 Stage Lighting

Noon on a hot summer day in the Caribbean-

The time in the prompt informed the position of the warmer light because in theory the sun would be directly overhead. The sky, I tried to create a cool but misty blue. The entire scene is meant to appear a little hazy from the heat.

Easter Sunrise in a Gothic Cathedral-

I like how the light used to represent the sun rising is illuminating a large circle of light as if the Cathedral is on a hillside or a mountaintop. While teal isn’t a natural color for the sky, I feel like it somehow works well with the vibe of Easter morning in a church because it’s sort of ethereal and bright.

Winter afternoon just before the snow fall-

I sort of imagined this scene taking place in a kitchen with big windows and the circle of light on stage left would be the outside view from the window. I tried to combine cooler colors to show that it’s winter while also deciding the best place to trickle in sunlight in order to show the time of day but not stray from the perceived weather conditions.

Fall sunset in Vermont- I chose to use a sidelight that hangs a little lower to depict a sinking sun. The violet/deep blue is a cooler tone for the sky since the fall has cooler temperatures.
