Drama 16 Stage Lighting

1) 2/29/11 8:32AM Quadship Enterprise.

2) The room was very dimly lit through the window by the grey, cloudy sky outside.

3) As I woke up, I rolled over towards the window expecting to be blinded by a bright ray of sunlight. Instead I was greeted by a dark, dreary morning. The sky was grey, the greyest shade of grey you can imagine. Not the bright white light of a beautiful sunny day, and not the dark grey, almost black sky before a storm, but grey, the most dreary, dreadful, indecisive grey. The sky could not decide whether or not it was going to rain, so a blanket of fog hung over the tops of the buildings and trees. The sky also could not decide where the sun was, so all of the clouds emanated what little, dull light they could. This was going to be the start of a no good very bad day.

2.The clouds parted and the sun with a small bit of sky could be seen through the hole. Small rays of light could be seen in that one little area of sky and sun.

3. I was walking back from directing in the speigal theater and looked up and the clouds had parted a little for the sun. It was a beautiful sight to have the small hole of light through the dark depressing clouds. It was like a ray of hope through a long storm. It fit with the feelings I’m sure we all had about Much Ado being ready for opening. Now all the work is done and the sun may break up the clouds and clear away the storm for the show. Also it was really amazing to see a small patch of sun and blue sky which haven’t been seen for a few days

2. The two lights in our ceiling, one is on, the other is off.

3. Sitting in my room and staring at my computer as I go through moments during the week I had with lighting, I couldn’t decide which to use. I look behind me and notice something; there’s a lighting moment happening right in my room! The effect of one light being on and the other being off caused this effect of life and mystery. Even though I know what is in the dark part of the room I had this thought that anything could pounce out of there at any moment, that is how dark it was. I was in the lit part of the room, and the feeling of comfort being in that part really made me feel safe, and somehow the objects seemed more alive then normal. I guess that sort of thing happens when your in a room by yourself, and a lighting moment happens right where you live.
