Drama 16 Stage Lighting

Single Light on Stage

Posted by previousstudent on March 9, 2022 under Light Observation

DATE: 03/07/22
TIME: 2:20pm
LOCATION: Stage (from the internet)
THEME: Single Light
DESCRIPTION: I had a meeting with some film majors and we were talking about amazing moments that artists can build on the stage. One of them said that single lights on the stage are really powerful and I never thought about it but this type of lighting coming from above the stage has been used a lot in many movies (Flashdance where all of the water is falling on the main character and others). It definitely creates an intimidating, focused, and serious feeling. In this case the blue light makes it more serious because of the color, tone, and also because it makes the dark background become even darker.

Title: “Sunset in the Bronx”
Discovered through Imgur, uploaded by “symbiiotic” on January 3, 2017. Time unknown.
Theme: Sunrise/Sunset
This photo is a blend of colors towards the end of a sunset, an evening sky covered with dark blues, purples, and the tail end of light pinks and bright yellow colors. The photo was taken from a train platform high above the ground. I chose this photo because it feels close to the end of a night where things are winding down from the day and it made me feel at ease. I like the perspective from the platform, which is outside, above ground, and in between lamp posts. Even those lights hitting the concrete create this nighttime feeling, contrasting the vibrancy of the sunset occurring quite nicely. I also enjoy the smallest detail, the green signal light in the far left, which is distant but still illuminating.

Light Observation #3

2/14/19 10:40pm My Bedroom.
I glanced out my window for a brief second and was surprised to see a blue light emanating from one of the street lights.
All of the other street lights give off a yellowish hue but this one in particular shines a bright blue.

Light Observation #8

Posted by previousstudent on March 29, 2018 under Light Observation

1.) My Room 5:20 am yesterday morning (3/28/18) in my bed room.

2.) I am lying in my bed and woke up at 5am because I just returned from France where they are 6 hours ahead. The window is 45 degrees to my left, and is facing the East. There are no curtains on my windows. So at 5:20 a.m dawn began. The sun had not risen but the sky was lighting up and came into my room. The light spreads from my window to the adjacent wall, it runs along the wall in front of me, as well as the floor around my bed and the first 18″ of my bed where my feet are. The rest of my bed is not in the light because the bed is in a cove. The light is a dim dark blue and smoothly washes over everything in its ray of light.

3.) The beam is a calm relaxing blanket. Cooling down everything in the room. At night the room get minimal lighting by the warm street lamp. But at dusk the cool blue slides in, blowing away the heat. It feels like a new day in approaching, washing away the stresses and frustrations of the previous.

Light Observation #4

Posted by previousstudent on February 22, 2018 under Light Observation

1) 2/18/18- 8:20pm- New York City (near Penn Station)

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: While walking past some buildings, there was a fairly large building with all glass windows in the front. Inside I could see this weird lobby that was empty except for one man at the end of this wide hallway next to some sort of desk. The top and bottom of these walls were lined with bright blue lights that appeared to be similar to neon lights. The color of the blue was very pure as if it wasn’t not mixed with any other color.

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The light appeared to be very ominous. It caused me to feel scared in some sort of way. The light was so bright and colorful compared the the street that it felt very haunting and demanding to me. The light pierced my eyes but I couldn’t stop looking at it becuase of it’s attention grabbing atmosphere. This moment was fairly creepy becuase not only was the building strange, but the lighting really added into the weirdness of the setting.

Surreal

This photo is surreal because of the strange colors and positioning of the light. The woman is standing in a light surrounded by darkness that reminds me of the deep ocean. Though she is firmly on land, the way she is positioned in relation to the sea life above her seems to place her below them in deep water.

Thursday 4:30pm in my dorm room.
My roommate and I were sitting around relaxing in our room and our suite mate told us it was raining heavily outside. When I pulled the shades to look outside a flash of lightning zipped across the sky.
The first thing I saw as I pulled the shades of the dirty window in my dorm room was a bright quick beam of bluish white light. at first it startled me because I had just pulled the old dusty shades up to the top of the window to see the rain as it flashed across the gray and drab background of the sky.

3. Surreal

4.I picked this photo to fit the theme of surreal because it is unusual and is a bizarre twist on a seemingly normal picture of jellyfish. This photo spoke to me most because it reminded me of a trip I took to the aquarium in South Carolina. When I was 14 I took a bunch of pictures of the different kinds of jellyfish and each tank was lit completely different from each other. the lighting of this particular jellyfish species reminded me of how these jellyfish were lit at the aquarium; with faint blue light that makes it seem like they’re electrified and if you touch them you’ll get shocked. What makes this photo surreal is the fact that there is a woman in a dress whose legs have turned into the tentacles of a jellyfish.

Tuesday, March 21st, 11:30 pm, in the front seat of the car with m friends back in the Bronx.
The bottom of the dashboard in the front seat of the car there were these blue LED lights attached to the car. The lights also came from near the bottom of the back doors in the back seat.
I was cruising in the car with my friends after seeing a movie with them and while we were driving, my friend who was the driver put on these lights that lit up the car. It was a dim blue color that illuminated the car like a club. It was coming from the bottom so it also looked like a moment when you tell a story and turn on a flash light at the bottom of your face.
