Drama 16 Stage Lighting

1) 2:00 P.M- 2/9/11 Lower level of of Library

2)Theme:Dealer’s Choice

3)  Flickering lights through a long row of books. Following by darkness at the end.

4) The best way to describe what it looks like down there is the opening scene of “Ghost Busters”.

There was an eerie feeling I had, which made me feel as if someone was watching or that something will happen. The flickering light on the row of books coupled with the perspective of the long row of books, makes me not want to work down there sometimes. The lower library floor is creepy on its own and the light just really intensified the ominous feeling of impending doom. I can correlate the flickering light to a disturbance by some intangible force.

Theme: Dealer’s Choice
Swanky

4) DESCRIPTION: I think this is a very swanky image. The lighting and quality capture a very rugged masculinity that is usually ascribed to cowboys or 1950’s, leather wearing, “bad boys.” There is something sort of mysterious about the image created by the heavy shadows around the subject. The subject himself is cast in partial darkness, with his feet and arms being less distinguishable. This picture looks dirty, but in a way that is almost desirable; the subject looks like he just doesn’t care about anything. Another interesting part of the lighting in this image is the greenish tint that the photo has.

5) ASSIGN CATEGORY & TAGS: Category should be “Photo Observation”. Include your first name as at least one tag, other optional tags can be added to describe the post.

1) 4-7-2011, 2:00 PM, Hempstead Turnpike

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: I was walking down the street when saw open the ground, laying at my feet, a broken glass, for beer. I thought, what ass would leave this here? But instead of walking by, because the light caught my eye, I reached down, and picked the bottle up off the ground. I held it up right by my eye, and then I faced it towards the sky, and walked with my filter of broken glass, to make the walk to the speigel pass. The world around me was shimmering brown, and Hempstead looked like an old timey town; which vintage movie characters might call their home, because everything was in sepia tone.

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The light through the broken beer bottle was very interesting. The world appeared to be very wavy and in shades of brown; ironically, what some people see when they are drunk (more the wavy-ness than the brown).

1)4-7-2011, 3:00 PM, Design Room

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The lights are off in the design room, but on one table, in the corner by the windows, is a large box that lights up internally, and has a see through top. The light is very bright, and is lighting up the rest of the room.

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: More than anything, I found this light to be surprising. When I looked through the window in the door, I saw that the lights were off, but the room was slightly lit up. The light looked natural enough, so I assumed the windows were open. When I walked in to the room, I saw that the light was actually coming from a huge box in the corner of the room. It looked like the arc of the covenant from Indiana Jones, and for a brief second I fantasized about my face being melted off, before walking forward and learning that it was actually for tracing.

1) 4/8/11, 12:50am, RSR middle booth in Nassau/Suffolk

2) Objective: Bright fluorescent light overhead with the dark night sky in front of us.

3) Subjective: Standing in the RSR booth and looking at how the fluorescent light acts as a spotlight in the booth over all of us and the dark night sky dims the mood. Definitely seeing the difference in light and dark.

1) 4/6/11, 8:30pm, SUGA Bar and Lounge

2) Objective: The dim mood lighting throughout the room with the cyc lights, table lights and wall lights.

3) Subjective: Sitting in the booth behind me the wall has mirror with a tree in front of it in a box with an orange lights and its reflected several times in the background. The whole room is dimly and romantically lit with colored table lights inside.
