Drama 16 Stage Lighting

Fall Sunset Hawaii

I chose this photo to represent a fall sunset in Hawaii because out of all the sunsets that pictures have captured in Hawaii, this picture seems the least intense of them all. I feel like fall in Hawaii is still intense and colorful but almost muted in a way.

Fall Sunset in Hawaii

Backdrop:

Model:

For a Fall Hawaii sunset, I created a romantic scene, with the sky light up in pinks and purples. The couple dancing is primarily light by backlight and sidelight in the same colors as the backdrop to create a silhouette effect.

Spring Sunset on Long Island

Backdrop:

Model:

To create the illusion of a peaceful sunrise, I used white, yellow, light pink, and light orange light coming from stage right and illuminating the front part of the model’s body. I also lit the back part of her body with dark blue light, creating depth and highlighting the colors used on the backdrop. Because the sun would hypothetically be low in the sky, I did not use any light above her head.

Backdrop:

Model:

This light depicts a very bright midday sun with bright lights directly overhead the model, a blue sky, and front/side/back light in white, warm, and cool colors that simulate sunlight from all around.

Winter Afternoon in Alaska

Backdrop:

Model:

I chose a hazy, snowy sky as the sun is beginning to set for the afternoon, so I lit the backdrop with a very light gray/green/blue to establish a dark, dismal mood. I chose the model that had two people in a position that seemed to me to imply tension to further accentuate this. I lit them very dimly, with similar blue and green colors from all directions and added a gobo to create the look of shadows from falling snow.

Fall Sunset in Hawaii

I chose this image and colors because the sunsets in the Pacific are absolutely amazing and the colors that dance across the sky are quite amazing.

1) Fall Sunset in Hawaii

I picked this picture to use as my model for the sunset theme because I admire the purple, orange, and red colors. I find the purple looking magenta color on top to be unique in a way because in person I never seen a sunset with emphasis on red and purple. I love how the water has a reflection of the color red, I find this sunset to be beautiful.

2) Spring Sunrise on Long Island 

The sunrise in this picture reminds me of spring because of the of the sky being a soft light blue. The sun also reminds me of a slower and how its blooming from the bright white light in he middle and then expanding into a deep orange.

3) Summer at Noon in England  

I chose this picture to describe summer in England at noon because I like how the sky is a little darker than a baby blue and the sun isn’t giving off a orange or any other color and the clouds are in the sky nice and white. When I see the sky is blue it gives me the feel it is the middle of the day. People are sitting on the grass which is an activity done in nice weather preferably during the day.

4) Winter at noon in Alaska 

I chose this picture for winter in Alaska because the sky is blue and clear of clouds. Since the sky is clear of clouds the snow as a main emphasis for the color white. I like how the sky is blue and then fades into white hitting the mountains. The snow is beautiful and bright and I like how the dogs are running in the snow. It looks like a nice day to build a snowman.
