  1. March 16,2025; 12:16am; A Birthday Party
  2. Single source artifice light photo observation
  3. I was at a birthday party when I saw a pink/purple LED strip sitting in the window. It was shining onto someone’s back and then casted their shadow onto the wall in front of them. This singular LED strip helped light up the whole room with a pretty pink and purple glow. You can see the color on their back showing the angle the light is sitting at. These gels look like they would be the Roscolux, Cinegel R4790 CalColor 90 Magenta and R4990 CalColor 90 Lavender.

Lighting Observation #6

Posted on March 14, 2025 by previousstudent

1)    March 14, 2025, Hotel Room in Smithfield, RI, 10:03pm

2)   Dark hotel room where the only light is the blue light coming from CJ’s computer.

3)   After a long day, the lights are off. As I sit on the opposite bed I watch CJ write their lighting observation. The illuminated blue light frames their face locked in to the task at hand. Concentration is key and the moment is fleeting. In a few hours we will be back up again for a final day. The harsh color keeps us up preventing rejuvenation in the final hours of the day.

Lighting Observation #6

Posted on March 14, 2025 by previousstudent
  1. March 13, 2025, 1:16 pm, Rhode Island College Theater
  2. Objective: A white spot light shines on the stage, the rest of the stage is lit with red light. A man stands on the opposite side of the light, shadowed in red.
  3. Subjective: A question creeps across the stage. The light shines, calling to the man standing on stage. It beckons him. It expects him. And yet he stands there. Immediately, there is a rebellion created. His utmost refusal to move rejects the expectations of the lighting, the brightness that beckons. Yet he stays in the shadows. He stays in a silent rebellion.

3/14/25, Rhode Island College Stage

On stage with 4 other dancers I see how the red side light shining on half of one person’s face. It highlights the bones and darkens the deeper parts of the face, like the eye and below the cheekbone. The whole face is colored red and it bleeds into the hair and white shirt. The highlights of blonde look bright red but the brown hair is almost maroon. The white shirt ripples with movement and the red light dances across the curves of the fabric.

Light Observation #6

1)    March 14, 2025, a movie theater in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

2)    The low lights inside the movie theater before the movie started

3)    The movie theater was completely empty; it was 15 minutes before the movie started. The lights were already low, as if the movie had already started, but the projector had not started projecting anything yet. The lights gave off a soft, warm, yellowish, orange light that made the relatively large theater feel cozy and comforting. The lights were spaced evenly through the theater along the walls, so almost every inch of the theater was covered in the soft light, except low down on the floor, where the light did not reach.

Theme: spring

The blue of the sky juxtaposes with the purple and orange sky. As it sets, the sun’s orange and pink hues reflect off the clouds. It creates shadows and definition to an otherwise one notes sky. The darkest part of the picture is in the very center, as the blue of the ocean matches the dark underside of the clouds. As the horizon expands closer to you, it gets lighter and lighter. You can here the seagulls calling. There is a slight breeze as you stare at the horse, your best friend. The fur matches the sand of the beach, the perfect place to spend a spring day.

3) THEME: Spring

4) DESCRIPTION: Late on a spring night, the fluorescent lights dance between the tulips that are in full bloom. While the cool night breeze passes through the tulips, shadow puppets float around the sidewalk.

Lighting Observation #6

  1. Wednesday March 12, 10:30 PM, Hotel Room in Smithfield RI
  2. Street lights come into the window of the dark room.
  3. Shadow envelops me after a long day of travel and dancing leaving me weary. The room shrouded in darkness is only invaded by a slight cool white light filtering through the shade on the window. The eery glow from the the outside world seems to tempt me even after my taxing day. Opposite of the warm light of the sun, this light mimicked its faint reflection off of the moon.  The light is a temptation pulling me away from the sleep I so desperately need.

Lighting Observation #6

Posted on March 13, 2025 by previousstudent
  1. Wednesday, March 12th, 6:45pm. Outside the Student Center
  2. The sun setting without any obstruction
  3. As I walked outside, I noticed the deep orange glow that encapsulated the cement beneath me. It was “golden hour,” or the time of day when the sun casts a warm blanket of light across anything and everything it touches. Looking up, I was shocked to see a perfectly round ball of fiery orange-red hanging low in the sky. It was completely unobstructed, not covered by any buildings or branches, and it hadn’t dipped low enough to be cut off by the horizon yet. The wholeness of the circle created a beautiful display of color and light.

Photo Observation #5

From the movie Cameraperson (2016)

Spring

The warm, bright, sunlight illuminates the beautiful sunflowers in the foreground. The sunset and flowers bring up memories of the nice warm spring day where the sun’s gaze strikes my skin as I walk past the flowers as they bloom. The warmth and overall color temperature remind me of the nicer weather in spring versus the cooler, bluer color temperature of a winter setting.
