Lighting consumes up to 40 percent of the energy used in our buildings. Effective lighting improves productivity and strengthens security. TH:Pr5.1.8.b Use a variety of technical elements to create a design for a rehearsal or drama/theatre production.Lighting is the single most important element in the visual environment. Choose a variety of technical elements that can be applied to a design in a drama/theatre work. Consider various staging choices to enhance the story in a drama/theatre work. Imagine and explore multiple perspectives and solutions to staging problems in a drama/theatre work. Explain and present solutions to design challenges in a drama/ theatre work. Consider the aesthetics of the production elements in a drama/theatre work. Use researched technical elements to increase the impact of design for a drama/theatre production. Refine technical design choices to support the story and emotional impact of a devised or scripted drama/ theatre work. Explore the impact of technology on design choices in a drama/theatre work. Apply basic research to construct ideas about the visual composition of a drama/theatre work. This lesson includes HS Proficient standards but could easily be adapted for use with HS Accomplished or even Middle Grades. Virtual Lighting Design makes a great student lesson for 3-4 class periods.
Two actors in colored light with sharp clear features and minimal shadows on the floor and walls. Two actors in shadowed light but still with clearly lit features and minimal shadows on the floor and walls. Two actors in harsh white light from a particular direction as if coming from one light source, shadows accentuate the impression of one light. Two actors shown in bright natural looking "white" light, with sharp clear features and minimal shadows on the floor and walls. For each effect make a note of the lights and colors you used and take a screenshot to add to your portfolio. Now try changing and mixing color and intensity until you have achieved the following four effects. Controls above each instrument allow you to change the color and brightness just as you would be able to do by adding gels to white lights and varying their intensity with your light board controls. In the Color Lab, three instruments are pointed at the actors,one from the right, one from the left and one from the back. Next go to the "Color Lab" program Matt designed. Make a note of the lights you used (front light, back light, etc.) and the intensity for each light, then take a screen shot of that picture to add to your portfolio. Now try turning lights on and off by clicking on the blue dots and using the sliding bar at the bottom to adjust the light intensity until you have clearly lit the actors with minimal shadows on the set. It is great fun to play with adding a gobo by clicking on the patterned circles at the bottom of the image, but for our purposes make sure you have no gobos activated by clicking on the solid white circle at the far right. Use the sliding bar at the bottom to determine the intensity of the light for each instrument. Open the program and click on any of the blue dots. Learning About Shadow, Pattern and Intensityīegin by learning about light and shadow using "Gobo Lab". You will be using the "Gobo Lab"and "Color Lab" programs Matt designed to experiment with intensity, color and shadow, then in the next step you will put it all together using Light Lab for Dance to design light cues to support the story in your chosen song. You will be using these tools to learn about light and shadow so that you can create a light design to support the music you have chosen.
