Drama 16 Stage Lighting

1. DATE-TIME-LOCATION: 2/6/2020, 5:43pm, Walking from Vander Poel towards the Student Center.
2. OBJECTIVE OBSERVATION: The lamp post light was beaming against the concrete, casting a shadow as I passed it. The shadow increased its size and also created another shadow, but flipped. It continued to grow longer as I walked through the light.
3. SUBJECTIVE OBSERVATION: The lamp post light created a unique design with the shadow my figure casted against the concrete. One shadow developed into two long, unusual shadows and looked really cool in the evening light.

(I thought this posted Thursday, but found it in my drafts. My apologies for the technical misstep.)

Theme: Cold

Description: A model is set against a concrete wall, lit by tungsten. The wall is splattered with stains and dabbles of paint, with a thick, sloppy line of blue atop the model’s head. Above the line is a spot of light condensed down. It gives an overcast over the model, illuminating the harsh paleness of her skin and white dress. On the far right, a studio and workbench are peaking behind the concrete wall.

To me, this photo spotlights the beautiful illusion that urban life sells to the populace. You may see the beauty of the city in its shining buildings, represented as the model sitting down. However, as seen behind the model, the city can be cracked, dirty place. That wall is the reality of what most cities attempt to hide with their models/skyscrapers. However, as you live in the city, you cannot escape the dirt and grime.
