Drama 16 Stage Lighting

1. Adams Playhouse at Hofstra, 10pm on Mar 9, 2019
2. Subjective Observation: I was watching the Shakespeare play Richard III and the lighting changed in the scene of ghost cursing Richard to die in his dream. The whole stage lit by previous bright yellow light was turned to half dark and half bright with cool cyan color light aiming at the stage area where Richard was.
3. Objective Observation: it’s the scene where Richard sees all of the ghost he murders show up at once in his dream. Cool cyan light color creates an immersive atmosphere of evilness and wickedness. In highly constrat to the color which lit Henry who is on the side of victory. Audience members had been informed about the following sequence by the lighting contrast.

3. Surreal

4. This lighting is surreal because it washes the woman in the unnatural colors of cyan and red. The majority of her hair and body is lit up red, making her look suspicious, sexy, and dangerous. The cyan light adds a mysterious, isolating feeling and looks like a cold shiver all the way up the side of her body and on her face. Overall, the lighting leaves the woman’s personality and emotion a mystery, but it certainly makes her seem bold and important.

2. A long rectangular strip of lights that flash colors of cyan and red. Along with it is a bright, white spotlight.

3. On a Friday night, Take-One Theatres opened up their first show of ‘Peter Pan’. To make our flying scene magical we used a massive strip of lights that illuminated the space our Peter “flew” around. The light blinked bright, saturated reds and blues around the stage, generating a warm and exciting aura to the show. As Peter Pan whizzed around, a bright, white light shone down upon her, making her the star of the moment. The astonishing lighting made her the center of attention and helped the audience feel the magic of the moment.
