Drama 16 Stage Lighting

WHEN? February 16th, 8:00pm

WHERE? My living room

OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: A lamp in my living room

SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The warm light leaks through the ivory shade into a darkened room, dimly illuminating the space. Circles of light and shadow, reshaped by the lampshade over top, are now projected onto the walls in the corner of the room where the little lamp sits.

THEME: Single Artificial Light Source

DESCRIPTION: This photo was taken in my friend’s room of their Brooklyn apartment. The lamp is the only artificial light in their room besides the main light in the ceiling. They just moved, so all of their belongings are scattered along the windowsill, and the lamp brings attention to it. I like the lamp because it reminds me of the Pixar intro and has a cool switch to turn it off and on.

1. 11:30pm 2/21/19 My bedroom
2. On my nightstand I have a rock salt lamp. At the moment this was the only light on in my room.
3. I turned over to see my rock salt lamp glowing against the dark. Warm thoughts filled my mind as I drifted to sleep.

1. 10:16pm 2/7/19 on the quad at Hofstra.
2. I was walking to the parking lot after a long day of classes. As I looked up from my phone I saw a tall lamp post in the center of the quad. The lights seemed exceptionally bright against the dark sky.
3. You can always find a light when faced with darkness.

1. Date: 4/20/18, Time: about midnight, Location: my bedroom
2. I am doing some work on my laptop and decide to put on my bedside lamp. I rarely use it, but it emits a warm light.
3. My bedside, usually enveloped in cold and unnatural light from the TV, is illuminated by the lamp sitting on the nightstand. Most of the time, it sits as a prop for decoration, but its use of light is reliable whenever necessary.

1.) My room in my apartment, Uniondale NY. 3/6/18 @ 8pm.

2.) While filling my pod with insulin, the light from the lamp was directly behind the vile of insulin in my line of sight. Inside the vile a vertical lazer like light appeared. It was a deep amber and very warm.

3.) The lazer beam was like a powerful energy force trapped inside a container waiting to be released to wreak havoc. It was so bright it hurt to look at for long periods of time. It could be a heat source to warm up a cold room in the winter, or a electric bolt for a super weapon as well.

Location: Emily Lowe 2nd Floor 8:50 am in our classroom.

In our classroom there was a lamp placed on the desk in the front left corner. The first two windows in the room have their blinds closed the following windows are pulled up to about three quarters. The lights are all off except the lamp and the projection of jelly fish. The light from the lamp is a warm yellow. The lamp lights up the top corner of the desk but creates a shadow on the floor immediately close to the desk. The light makes a 90 degree angel with the outside being light and the inside being a shadow. The walls are hit with much lower intensity than the desk and it washes over everything in the room. My skin is ever so slightly yellowed by the light.

The light creates a mysterious mood. It reminds me of a lone street lamp on a dark street. Or a light from stranger things. I think the light has a retro feel because the lamp is using bulbs from the the 70’s and 80’s. I can picture a room with this lone lamp in a movie about Aliens and the light would flicker as the Alien approaches the room.

1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: Feb 21st, 12am, my room.

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: One of my roommates has her desk light on across the room.

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: Darkness…almost. One sliver of bright to keep me awake. As I try to drift off I can sense the light from across the room. It bounces from wall to wall crawling up trying to bathe the entire room in light. I’d like to snuff out that light. It’s orange glow keeps me awake as I try my hardest to relax and sleep. Any other time this light would be welcome, would be relaxing but right now there’s only one word for it: annoying.

1. Monday 2/20/17 around 9:00 pm
2. There is a lamp on top of a night stand in the corner of the room shining bright.
3. I was relaxing on my bed either on my phone or laptop just lounging around and stressing about homework and going back to school. At this moment the ceiling light in our room is on. I turned it off and my sister decides to turn on the lamp in the corner. Suddenly I felt calmer and at ease. My problems were not solved but it was fascinating to see the change of my mood when the light in the room changes. Since it was a little light and it was in the corner it made the room dim. The light from the lamp was very bright only in the spot it was in. Looking at the bright light illuminating brighten up the mood and observing how the further away I was from the light makes me feel comfortable and sleepy.

1st of February, 11pm, my dorm.

Light rays from the back of a lamp hitting the wall at an angle, distorting the shape of the rays, creating an interesting interlocking polygon pattern, contrasting the harsh light of the lamp.

Spear like shapes climbing the wall from my desk and covering my bed, causing a sense of dread to grow within as sleep and comfort are pushed farther from me, replaced by harsh light and chains climbing the walls around me.
