Acting Profile

 Being a lighting designer is a fantastic career and one that is very rewarding. On the other hand it can be truly annoying and testing at times. As a lighting designer your study will never be complete there is always something new to learn because lighting is always changing. Each production differs and as a lighting designer you will make many errors on the way but, this is a learning curb. Mistakes should be looked at as an opportunity to learn and with every production new mistakes will be made.

Be careful when showing the actor’s face during the production. Our production needs to show as much light on the actor’s face as possible so instead of increasing the light which would look unnatural we need someone to direct the actor so the light falls correctly or reduce the lighting contrast around the actor.

Play around with the contrast, size, colour and movement so you get the best possible visibility. We would like the stage to be highly realistic it would be good if we could go for a lighting effect of sunlight that way it will be more realistic. We want to go for naturalistic, realistic, minimalistic and modern if we can play around with these then that would be good.

We want the lighting to portray a mood that is a mixture of happy, excited, nervous and humour at times.
