Drama 16 Stage Lighting

1) 2/7/13 at 2:45am on Maple Avenue near my house

2) The street lamp on a corner.  The lamp is yellow because it is about to go out.

3) I often find myself walking home late at night or early in the morning because I lose track of time while working on things at Hofstra.  This morning was no different and I was walking quickly home in the early morning to grab a few hours of sleep.  On my way home, I have to walk under a series of bright street lamps, but today one of the lamps was going out and had a sick orange tint to it that made me pause.  This light was flickering and seemed to be holding on to life but was such a burnt orange look that it did not light up the street but made the street look darker.  This light seemed to emphasize the darkness around me and I found myself rushing to get away from that light and under a brighter light because I wanted to be under a brighter light, I guess I have watched too many horror movies and darkness scares me when I am alone.

2) Photo of a tree in the ocean creating a shadow which can be seen because of the light from the moon

3) Theme: Single Light Source/Shadows

4) This picture is very interesting because there is a lot to be seen. There is a tree in the middle of the ocean which can be seen because of the moon. The moon is causing the shadow of the tree to be seen in the ocean and it is providing light. The ocean also looks like a cloud that you can imaging walking on top of and you would not fall into the ocean. The sky also has different shades of blue which creates a peaceful atmosphere when you look at the photo.

1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: 1/30/13 at 4:00 PM in my dorm room

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: White string lights hanging from the wall are the only artificial lights illuminating my small dorm room. The afternoon sun comes in through the blinds.

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: I have finally taken down my multi-colored Christmas lights and replaced them with white lights instead. Though much dimmer than the standard overhead lights, they cast a warm inviting glow throughout the room that is far preferable to the harsh fluorescents. Having just hung these lights they make the entire room feel fresh and different, and miles away from the drab dorm room I left behind at the end of last semester. The addition of the soft afternoon sun streaming into the room from between the blinds makes the entire room feel so comfortable and homey, despite it’s often drab oatmeal appearance.
