Lighting Observation

March 6, 2025, Studio A, Lawrence Herbert School of Communications
The white backdrop in studio A lit up with red, blue, and green light and an “applause” sign on
After one of my classes, I noticed the almost completely dark Studio A. The white backdrop in the back of the room was illuminated by red, blue, and green light. The colors mixed together in such a way that they almost created a rainbow effect, except it was missing the orange and yellow. On the left wall, there is a rectangular sign that reads “applause.” The letters are written in red, and the background they are written on is a soft yellowish-orange, white light, almost that of a soft white 60-watt light bulb. When I looked into the room, the only thing I could think of was Singin’ in the Rain and the “You Were Meant for Me” dance number, on the sound stage when Don is creating the “proper setting.”
