Drama 16 Stage Lighting

1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: 10:00 PM, upstage left corner of the blackbox in the NAB, Thursday, 4/14

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: There is no light in my corner except that of the clip light hanging from the ceiling. It is a cool blue, and reflects onto the dark colored wall. Someone has used a trick cigarette, and the powder released disperses in the beam of light.

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The blue light feels like a beacon of hope in darkness, despite its cool tone. It splashes the dark wall like paint being thrown, and the particles in the air glow like a dense fog.

THEME: PARTY

What I like most about this picture is how well the light is capturing the emotions of the subjects. The two people in the foreground of the picture are having a great time, and the light in the background is a blast of bright yellow, orange, and green. The lights are very joyous. When I think of lights at a party, I think of something bright almost to the point of being obnoxious, and colorful, just like the lighting in this picture. Interestingly, the other type of lighting I can think of for parties is light that is very dim and limited. Parties rarely have lighting this “normal.”

Where: My front yard

When: Tues afternoon

Objective: We were sitting on the porch and it was a cloudy evening. Then someone across the street turned their headlights

Subjective: I found it really interesting how much the colors changed when the headlights turned on in our faces. The sky seemed to be almost purple when it was a dark blue before. Everything in the light of the headlight appeared as it normally would, but when you looked into your peripherals, the colors had changed, as well as the general mood.

When: Thursday afternoon

Where: Intermural fields

Objective: The light was in front of us as we walked across the field, and there were a group of frisbee players playing with the light behind them

Subjective: The light hit the players from behind giving them a warm glow and a slight aura around them. The light was in our eyes so they appeared to be almost silhouetted. Also, when the light hit the white frisbee it made it look almost as if it had a light inside it.
