Drama 16 Stage Lighting

Thursday, February 8, 2019 – The clock just outside of the student center on north side
The mist in the air allowed for the light to spread more easily throughout the sky, so the light of the lampposts was more prominent than usual.
It felt like I was Lucy from The Chronicles of Narnia when she first say the lamppost through the wardrobe. It was a surreal moment, where I didn’t quite comprehend what I was looking at, but I knew immediately that it was a beautiful moment that I may not get to experience again. The glow of the lampposts outlining the edges of the trees seemed like an alien encounter, while the glow of the clock seemed almost like the repeating imagery within some movies of the clock that slowly ticks down to the characters doom. It was illuminated to the point wherein it became somewhat difficult to discern the edge of the actually metal structure from the trees, because of how brightly the face shined.

1) Wednesday March 9, around midnight, outside Student Center

2) The light from the Hofstra Clock and other lamps through mist

3) As I was walking back from the Student Center last night I noticed the bright face of the ever present Hofstra clock. The white clock face was lit up but also blurry because of the rainy mist and light fog in the night sky. With the clock in focus, I could just notice the various other lamp posts and streetlights across campus. These were far away and blurry also, giving them an appearance similar to stars. The whole scene created a cold mysterious feeling with the mist hitting my face and covering everything. It seemed like everything was slightly out of focus because the light was passing through the fog and water in the air. The scene was unnerving and all the lights seemed bleak and dim in the night.
