Drama 16 Stage Lighting

Picture taken by me

I took this picture at a Delaney Bailey concert in the city last semester. We were very close to her, and it was a very intimate venue, so the darker lighting really added to the energy. The dark and vibrant lighting helped to draw attention to the focal point on stage and eliminated the background distractions. The lighting here made me think of the nightlife theme because it reminded me of club/party lighting, although it was at a casual concert. The vibrant red and purple lights added to the fun, playful environment.

Theme: Nightlife

Description: This picture was taken at a concert I attended with a close friend, for a band called The Rose. The photo was taken right before they were going to start-around 8 pm that day. Concerts do a good job of showcasing what night life means to me. Concerts are usually the only reason that would push me to stay out that late and forego a good night sleep. There are multiple different colored lighting happening here. All the lights are vibrant pinks, reds, and blues in the otherwise dark venue. There was a lot of movement in the lights coming from the stage which only added to the liveliness and high energy of the place.

3. Although there is very little “life” depicted in this picture, it still is a good representative of night life. This is the simple depiction of night life when you live in a suburb. The only light that is shining on the person laying in the middle of the road is a street lamp. It is also easy to see how there is a dark area in between the two street lamps in this picture. The white light shining on the ground gives a good contrast to the dark silhouettes of the trees and the night sky.

3. Description: When I hear the term “night life,” my mind instantly jumps to images of dance clubs, late trips to the city, and going out with friends. In college in particular, the night is tied to the idea of “partying” or socializing. In this photo, you will see a large group of people crowded into a small place with different colored lights and a slight haze to the room. Generally, different colored lights and fog are used to excite party-goers and make the atmosphere appear more fun. While the lights simply look “cooler” than if they were basic white lights, I think this image does a great job of showing how it may also be slightly disorienting if someone were to actually be in this space.

4. THEME: Safe Night Life
5. DESCRIPTION: Every time I come back from the studio or rehearsal at night, I always see this lamp. It amazes me how bright it looks in the middle of all of the darkness coming from the sky, trees, and buildings. Because of this light and many others that are around campus we are able to see where we are going. Personally, I am scared of the dark and this lighting gives me a little bit of safety and makes everything less scary. Night life is usually related to dark backgrounds combined with lamps coming from the streets, bars, restaurants, and other places.

I took this photo in December 2018 in EPCOT

4) DESCRIPTION: Smoke filled the pitch-black air as the crowd looked out onto the lake, music filling their ears. The only lights around were the bright lamp posts. Almost as if they were a beacon for the crowd to come forward. Suddenly hues of pinks and purples burst through the smog and mingled in the air. All of the colors merging together created the perfect backdrop for the exploding fireworks giving off a warm spark every so often across the sky.

THEME: Nightlife

DESCRIPTION: Walking into a club, the place where neon lights persevere through the night. Both dark and bright, the colorful lights, blues, pinks, purples, greens, signaling fun, a party’s begun.
