Drama 16 Stage Lighting

1. Date: Valentine’s Day 2018, Time: about 7:20pm, Location: City Cellar Wine Bar & Grill, restaurant in Westbury, NY
2. In a dimly lit restaurant, there are two walls lined with shelves of several LED candles, appearing to flicker continuously.
3. With it being the eve of Valentine’s Day, the most common tradition associated with the holiday is to go out with a significant other for a romantic dinner. I am settling down at the table when I notice right in front of me, two walls parallel to each other. Both are aligned with warm, flickering candles, leading to either the door or the venue.

Amusement

This is an outing to our local Applebee’s with my friends over the spring break. Of course I have positive associations with it because it was a trip I took for my own amusement, but I think the lighting also reflects the photo theme well. The  mix of blue, white, and red lighting gives the setting some fun variety. I think there’s also something about being able to see the source of the lighting that reinforces a feeling of amusement. Think of carnivals and clubs. I work at an arcade, which I considered using a photo from, and the many lights there draw people in and make the place feel like a place for entertainment and amusement.
