Drama 16 Stage Lighting

1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: 4/26/21- 7:00 pm

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: Walking back to my dorm from the Student Center as the sun was setting and shining through the trees.

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: Orange light pushes through the trees, their branches, and their leaves. As it does it casts a patterned glow onto the building ahead. Foliage playfully shadowed on this manmade structure.

3) THEME: Spring

4) DESCRIPTION: Golden sun rays bleed through the spaces between leaves, woods, and air, making its way to raise growing flowers and grass. With every second, nature gets greener. Blades shaded know they will get their attention as the sun moves throughout the day, coating the Earth’s floor, moving around the shadows of the tall trees that soak in the light. The grass the light hits is tinted by the light’s amber tinge, showing off a new, fresh season.

3) THEME: Sunrise/Sunset

4) DESCRIPTION: The snow sits upon the trees illuminated by the last light of day. The sun still shines bright, its light peeking through the trees even as the light fades into night. Blues, pinks, oranges, and yellows mingle together, their pastel gradient gives a sense of peace and calmness. Everything is quiet yet so bright. Sunsets in the snow leave a subtle smile on those around.

Theme: Spring

Description: I saw this post on Twitter and the caption had to do with one of the largest, busiest cities in the world being so quiet and isolated at the moment. We are at the forefront of spring and to be living during this moment in time is still unbelievable. This street depicts trees in the process of blossoming and the sky in the middle of deciding to rain or not. The lighting feels very spring-like, especially the way the cars are reflected and the colors feel cool yet bright.

2. The blinds are pulled up and a combination of light, shapes and shadows are reflected against the whiteboard.
3. I am taking notes in my morning lighting class when the professor pulls the blinds from one of the classroom’s windows, closest to the whiteboard. As the blinds go up, a literal and metaphorical window of light grows upon the lower right corner of the whiteboard. There are several boxes of light that make up the entire window. Within this window, there is a shadow of a tree and its branches, swaying back and forth into view.

1. March 14, 2018 – 9:12am – Stage Lighting Classroom
2. I am sitting at my desk in class. As I am looking at the white board, a shadow is casted upon it. The shadow is grey and projects the outlines of the window bars as well as the trees further in the distance. The tree’s shadow is moving on the board.
3. All of a sudden, the board came to life. The silhouette from the window is casted upon the board as well as the tree branches behind the window. As the wind swayed the tree outside, its branches began to move around the white board. It created a moment of beauty and tranquillity because as stressful as school may be and how far classrooms have moved from nature, we can never forget that it will always be there.

This lighting makes the woods warm and inviting to enter. Reminds me of what imagine the woods in Mid Summers Night Dream to be like when the sun is out; blasting through the trees. The amber and orange mix make it look cozy inside as well.

1. Location: In front of Lowe Hall, April 11, 2017 at 12:30.
2. Objective: In front of the hall there are six rows of trees within a square grass lawn. Shadows are shifting towards Hauser Hall like spikes piercing through the grass. There is no people or animal on there during this cold, sunny day.
3. Subjective: This image is isolating since this usual social place has no one in there. This reminds about how, despite it being sunny, the cold weather can force us all inside. It makes me think that, despite what want to do, the weather still has some control over our choices.

3. Mysterious

4. When I think of mysterious I tend to think of things that are darker with shadows and trees. I like this picture for those reasons. Its not quite symmetrical which makes my brain confused which adds to the mysteriousness of the picture. I also like how it takes a minute of looking to realize that there are signs and a light on the street. You can’t really see where the trees end or where the road goes which also helps lend itself to the mysteriousness.

2. Mysterious

3.  To me there is nothing more mysterious than being told not to do something. These signs block access to the Aokigahara forest at the base of mount Fuji, also known as the forest of death. That can’t be known by just looking at this photo thought this sign is cutting off entry to what looks like a lovely forest. Beyond the ropes the sun shines through the trees making whats beyond look innocent, even if it isn’t.
