Drama 16 Stage Lighting

ATTRIBUTES: Google

THEME: Wildcard

DESCRIPTION: I chose this picture because I thought it uses warm and cool colors in a very interesting way. The magenta light coming from the lamp and the deep blue light coming from the sign create a very calming atmosphere that I think is very cool. The dim lighting in the room also contrasts with the bright light coming from the neon sign, which gives the sign a almost glowing affect around it, which I also thought was very interesting.

1. DATE / TIME / LOCATION: April 21st, 12:30AM, Spiegle Theater
2. OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The department times was setting up their set and the projector screen was down, with a blue light covering it. The stage was dimly lit by amber light and the house lights where completely dark.
3. SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The blue background and dim lighting created a very cinematic atmosphere, almost as if we where all about to sit down and watch a movie. The blue light coming from behind the two subjects on stage also created a glowing affect around both of them, which made the subjects seem almost ethereal.

1. ATTRIBUTES: Google Images
2. THEME: Surreal
3. DESCRIPTION: I chose this photo because the people in the photo are using small LED lights and taking thousands of photos of the lights in order to create images in the air. The different very bright and vibrant colors stand out against the dark background and light the two subjects in the photo in a very interesting way. I think that because it’s created without the use of photoshop or any editing and is all made in the real world gives it a very surreal feeling.

1. A Fall Sunset in Vermont: For this scene I decided to have a yellow light at the center of the stage concentrated on the subject. I then layered on two dimmer orange lights in order to create the effect of the sun’s rays as they shift from yellow to orange. I then added four very dim purple lights in order to capture the affect of when the sunset turns the sky purple. I used a soft focus as well in order to capture the warm feeling of a sunset.

2. Easter in a Gothic Cathedral: For this scene I decided to use pink, purple and yellow colors, which are colors that I often associate with Easter. I used the spotted gobo in order to create a patterned appearance on the subject. I thought that this created both the affect of light shining through stained glass as well as the patterns you would see on Easter eggs. Finally I used two green lights with the spotted gobo as well in order to create the feeling of grass.

3. Noon on a Hot Summer Day in the Caribbean: For this scene I decided to have five yellow spots set to soft focus all beaming down directly on the subject. This created the affect of a sun beaming down on someone. I then added two blue lights dimmed to 50% and set to spotted at medium focus in order to created the affect of the ocean waves on a beach.

4. Winter Afternoon Just Before Snow: For this scene I started with a single overhead spotlight with no color to highlight the subject. I then used six different spots with blue and purple and various patterns in order to create the affect of a gloomy day with clouds overhead, when the flurries of snow just begin to fall but it’s not quite snowing yet.

1. THEME: Spring

3. DESCRIPTION: I chose this photo because I loved the way you can see the beams of light peaking through the flowers. I think that the way the flowers separate the light source from the sun into a bunch of tiny beams of light. I also think that the warm colors from the sun compliment the colors of the flowers to create the spring atmosphere.

3. LOCATION: 5th Floor of Constitution
4. OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The hallway outside the elevator was being lit by the light of the sun shining in through the window of the common room. The light was a warm amber which reflected off of the white walls to create a warm glow throughout the hallway.
5. SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The warm light shining in to the hallway created a very comforting feeling as I was walking to the elevator. The otherwise plain white concrete walls where lit up with the yellow light from the sun, which made the otherwise very unwelcoming hallway seem like a safe and happy place. The blue carpet also seemed to look brighter and more inviting as it reflected the light from the sun as well.

2. Saint Patrick’s Day
3. I chose this picture because of the green light coming from behind the person. I like how the lights from behind the bars illuminates them and gives them a green appearance despite the fact that they are not green. I also like how the bars are the focus of the picture while the hallway is dimly lit by a green light, and the person is just a silhouette.

2. Theme: Single Artificial Light Source
3. The street is lit by a single lamp post which shines an amber light down on to the street. The haze in the air allows you to see the beam of light as it comes down on to the ground.

ATTRIBUTES: Photo I found on the internet

THEME: Nightlife

DESCRIPTION: I chose this photo because of the cool tones from the blue mixing with the warmer red tones both coming together and reflecting off of the arms of the people dancing. The black background also helps to emphasize the colors of the light reflecting off of the people and the disco balls in the background also help to reflect more of the light while not stealing the focus from the people.

1. DATE – TIME – LOCATION: February 26, 3PM, Constitution TV
2. OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The video of Sigmacapella’s stage lighting for the ICCAs. There was a backdrop that was lit with orange light and there was blue light shining down on top of them.
3. SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The bright orange light in the background contrasts with the black outfits the people are wearing which draws the focus on the people performing while also lighting the stage in one vibrant light. The cooler blue light shining down on top of them contrasts well with the warmness of the orange and creates a simple yet dynamic set to highlight the performers.
