show research (pictures of real shows)

the wiz

this picture shows a dim lighting which i can use to integrate in to the show 
where as in this one on the actors are lit very well but still fairly dim in the back ground

bouncers


the lighting here is a dim light as it looks they are outside

they have spot lighting on each of them which is good to add in to


mamma mia:


 mamma mia is a very bright all around the stage

 
for solos they use spot lights for them as it is for only a couple people.

the lion king:

the show is bright with orange and red in the back ground.

 

again it has a red back ground but it is very dark.


the woman who cooked her husband:


in these six pictures it shows a brightly lit area but in the bottom right corner it is a blue lighting which could show a sad scene.

all these picture were to help me think of better ideas of what lights i could use for my show.

shows for NVQ bouncers

i worked on the show called directed scene, which had lots of different musicals and plays in it.
i am going to talk about bouncers and the challenges i faced setting up for it and the limitations that came with it.

what challenges do i face?
one of the challenges i faced was the room i am in. its a 14m by 12m room with a functioning lighting rig and 2 speakers. but the main problem with it, it has a suspended wall that gets in the way when trying to place lights.

lighting requirements:
general wash lighting which i use NJD lights as the beam is large enough to light a small area that i am in and i use 6 of these. 3 for front lighting and 3 for back lighting.
2 acclaim lights for a horizontal line that i have 1 acclaim one side of the lighting bar and one at the other side so i can line them up to make a horizontal line.
colour LEDs just to add some colour in.

perspectives:
with the limitations of being in the drama studio that it will be portrayed differently such as the lighting will be more dimmer as the sound would be louder because of the small room to make it seem larger. the performers will have to not do as many movements in there performance because of the size they won't be able to do many big movements.
