Drama 16 Stage Lighting

Picture taken by my friend at our senior prom June 8th, 2022.

Theme: Romance

The lighting in this photo reminds me of romance because of the pinks and purples normally associated with love. Rather than seeing the fiery red colors often associated with passion, this moment conveys the feelings of warmth and wholesomeness. The pink tones come across as soothing and gentle, that of a kinder love, in which people are genuinely happy and comfortable together. Additionally, the distribution of pink color being evenly washed over the entire room adds to the comfort of the moment, rather than an isolated light creating harsh lines.

Sunday, February 5th, @3:00pm

Objective: My friends and I were sitting in my dorm room working on our homework. I was sitting on the floor and the sun was shining through the window so that it was blinding me. I stood up and turned off the room light.

Subjective: The sun shining through the window was bright but also had a warm tint. When I stood to turn off the lights something felt off, but it wasn’t the sunlight. Once I turned off the light I could see it on all of our faces the relief of just having the natural light in the room. The room light had a cold feeling to it so when I turned it off the room was bathed in a warmth that was comforting and symbolized the tranquility and restfulness of a “lazy Sunday.”
