Drama 16 Stage Lighting

1. WHEN/WHERE: March 3rd, 2:00 pm, my bedroom in Suffolk Hall
2. OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: It is a clear day outside. The sun isn’t shining directly in so there is just enough light in my room so that we don’t need artificial light
3. SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The bright blue sky smiles down on the world, sending waves of ocean inside my room. I am nearly drowning in shadow, but the sun is my life vest and keeps me from sinking into darkness. There is no need for more light, as the blue shadow is serene and reminds me of the gorgeous day we’re having.

DATE-TIME-LOCATION:  February 20th, the Hofstra Library at 5:23 pm 

OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The sun setting in the distance giving the faintest outline of the cities skyline. 

SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The setting sun in the distance caught my eye as I was studying in the library. I wanted to see more so I stood on the radiator peering over the top window I hoped that PSafe was nowhere nearby. The city outlined by the bright oranges of the leaving sun made me smile. I sat back down to finish my work as the sky went dark. 

Date/Time/Location:  Thursday, February 18th / 12:00pm / My House

Objective: Snow falling all around, leaving a fresh layer on the already-snowed ground.

Subjective: The sky tells the earth to rest for a moment as it tucks the earth into bed.

1. WHEN/WHERE: February 16th, 2021; 3:40 pm; Davidson Hall Rm 104
2. OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The sun is shining through the windows. The room is lit enough with natural light.
3. SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: As I sit in the barren classroom, a ray of light shines down from the windows onto empty seats. The gorgeous blue sky makes me wish I was not sitting in this plain white box. However, seeing the sunlight shining on the floor warms the room and makes it more inviting. There is some shadow in the room, but no need for the harshness of ceiling lights. The gentleness of the Sun is quite astonishing.

Date/Time/Location:  Friday, February 12th / 6:30am / My bedroom

Objective: The sun shining through my window and directly into my face. An orange glow surrounding the room with sharp cuts of white light that outline the window.

Subjective: A warm embrace of light. The earth’s natural alarm clock is doing its job. A haze of warmth showers the room as the world prepares for a new day.

1. WHEN/WHERE: February 7th, 2021; 5:13 pm; outside of Dutch Treats
2. Facing West, the clouds have cleared just enough to finally see a bit of the sky and the sunset. The trees are covered in snow and everything is bright.
3. Within 10 minutes, the sky went from being completely white to having patches of blue, allowing the sun to finally shine through. The world turned into a winter wonderland as the pink and orange light peeked out from behind the snow-covered trees. Everything was evenly washed with brightness-not a single shadow in sight.

1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: 2/9/2020 at 9:15 pm HofUSA

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: Lighting of a seating area

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION:

The glowing bubbles above the heads of students cast a soft amber hue across the room. The glare reflects up from the glazed dark wooden floors. Bodies cast soft shadows among the dark auburn leather seats. The dark corners of the room are left dim from the yellow-ish hue that glosses the room.

1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: 4/14/20 around 4:45pm in my front yard in West Hempstead, NY

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The sun was shining very brightly on my friend’s dog. 

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The sun beat down very heavily on my sidewalk where Appa sat, bathing in the sun. He had just eaten a dandelion and the yellow petals sat on his nose. The bright spring sun had painted his fur a radiant brownish-black and glossed over his eyes and made them shine. 

1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: 4/7/2020 around 8:45pm in my room in West Hempstead, NY

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: All the lights in my room were off except for my fish tank light.

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: After closing my blinds and shutting off my lights, I noticed that the only light in my room was that of Betta O’Rourke’s tank (my foster fish). He was swimming around gracefully as the yellowish-greenish light from above his tank lit up a corner of my room. 

1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: 4/2/20 at around 1:30pm in my room in West Hempstead, NY

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The light from my window cast an interesting shadow on the floor. 

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The sun shone in from my south-facing window, casting a sharp gobo-like shadow on the floor that fuzzed out every time clouds passed by.
