I decided that my last blog is going to have very uninteresting pictures. Even though these are not the most interesting or lighting intensive, I think they both have a lot to say about lighting in general.
In this photo, we see that there is not that much shadow. The white vehicle has a little bit of shadow on the right side of it, but that is it. This makes the picture very well lit, but uninteresting. I feel like this happens sometimes in theatre. Even though the actors are very well lit, the story can be hindered by lack of creativity within the design. I feel like this happened on my second cue of The Glass Menagerie. I bathed that cue in a warm light and the shadows disappeared from it. It became pretty boring.
Another aspect of this photo that I like is how the sky is a dark blue on the left and a light blue on the right. We know that there is some sort of light source still coming from the right side of the picture and it nicely darkens throughout the picture to the left side. Like I stated in another post, I believe that the ability to have a light transition from a light color to a dark color makes it more real. I believe one our classmates did this with her Glass Menagerie presentation. She had two blue angle washes (I believe) and bathed Brady in a nice blue light. Even though the blue on in both lights were the same color, the blue on Brady appeared to be darker than the Blue around him. I felt that it looked very smooth.
