Lighting designer

I attended the opening night of Much Ado About Nothing on September 22nd in the Russell H. Miller Theatre. I saw posters for the play hanging in Ivan Wilson Fine Arts Center, Cherry Hall, and outside the theatre. Upon entering, I was given a program with the exposition, characters, and actors’ names. As I walked to my seat, the lights were on, the set was onstage, and “folksy harp music” was playing, or as a classmate described it “Italian bistro music.” The set gave a “Greek” feel with cream…

In 1888 Van Gogh created The Night Café using oil paints on a canvas. It's title alone depicts it almost to a tee, however, what one might envision without seeing it would be completely subjective. The same concept can be applied to what one feels when looking at this work. The painting depicts a very eerie room with colors that clash and are almost painful to look at. However, you’re drawn in by a man standing off in the corner of the room who appears to be staring at you. He almost looks as…

1) Use my desk lamp for lighting more over the standard dorm lightning since I have a LED bulb in it and gives off ample brightness. -LED bulbs are by far more efficient than fluorescents since they give off more light than heat. These bulbs also seem to be much brighter and I find myself not being strained when I use it as a sole light source. Since my dorm room is already hot, it only seems smarter to use a light source that does not give off a ton of heat as well. Since I live in a single…

argument on every city using too much lighting in their houses, businesses, and street lights during the night. Bogard uses many methods to get his argument be heard by the readers on why we should limit our light using in the night when they're not being used. In his article, he uses a lot of ethos, pathos and logos, but he also puts in rhetorical question to make his argument reasonable with the information he gets and the effects that the usage of lighting is causing. In his article, he gives…

Lighting is a technique that director Tim Burton uses to create the perfect mood for a particular scene in many of his well known movies. An example is when low-key lighting is used to fill the screen with darkness. Just barely any light left in the movie, which can give the sense danger and fear throughout the scene of the movie. In contrast high-key lighting is used to do the opposite of low-key lighting. It’s used to fill the screen with brightness, which can give the scene a sense of…

A museum requires a performant lightning system in order to observe the exhibits in a proper way. Taking a walk in Tate Modern I noticed that the light intensity as well as the light distribution is different in each space: the galleries from the Turbine Hall and the halls. In the galleries there are glowing light boxes displayed on the ceilings. The boxes are made out of glass and a steel frame. In addition to these there are also attached movable light bulbs on the steel skeleton of the boxes.…

Lighting The lights are the first thing the audience experience in this piece, then comes sound and movement. From the begging the lighting design was unique in the since that there was emphasis on the curtains. There were lights shining directly on the wings drapes. They were simply horizontal lines stacking straight up. The choice to have the lights show up first gave the audience time to take in the lights and create their own idea of what the lights represented. There were two sets/types of…

For my experiment, I choose to use both the red and green color lens filters. I initially was going to select blue, but when realizing it did little alteration apart from making white appear brighter I opted for a red and green filter. Like both my mother and father, I have Deuteranomalia which means I have a difficult time discerning from reds (appearing more brown) and greens (appearing more yellow). While my father has deuteranopia meaning his green cone is missing, I suffer from…

1. What is this play about? Consider textual, subtextual and contextual layers of the dramatic text. Consider all of the elements of drama. Textual: Both Marion, an eighty-year old women, and a young girl also named Marion, sit in a park as they both do every morning. Through conversation, it becomes apparent that they are in fact the same person at the opposite ends of one shared life cycle. The younger Marion, simply referenced as ‘girl’ in the playtext, represents the beginning of their…

Natural darkness is a big issue in the world. As light begins to pollute the Earth, we lose time from the natural darkness at night. Bogard listed 3 reasons why we should conserve our natural darkness. Bogard starts his argument about the natural darkness when he talks about how it has an effect on human beings. He says that the natural darkness helps the body produce melatonin. Melatonin helps keep the body free of cancer and healthy. It also helps our body not have diabetes, obesity,…
