Acting Profile

Over the last week or so I have shown how lighting design is especially important when putting on a theatrical performance. Having the ability to be flexible and play around with colours and gobos provides a wide range of choices throughout the production. It is better to have more options than not. High side or high front/side lighting position will give a good degree of modelling that is right for a small production. The full power of the colour/gobo is still reflected for the audience and director to see.

Back light can be used for the scenes back stage. For a great look we could light the stage by parallel beams. This would direct the light onto one side of the stage. This may not be possible for all the production, but certainly part of it like the room where the television is. To create sunlight we can create two spots on one side with the other two left for reserve or filling using a contrasting colour.

The weather is sunny and the time of the day is in the afternoon. We want the lighting to be quite bright. We need the light to follow the actors as they enter and exit though some lighting on the stage will need to be fixed.
