...Theatre 152 November 12, 2015 Section 6 The Importance of Lighting One Flew Over the Cuckoos’ Nest , written by Dale Wasserman, was one of the more exciting plays I saw this semester. Part of the reason this play made such an impact on me was the way the lighting set the mood. I intend to argue that the lighting in the play properly set the mood for each scene. In this paper I will discuss how the lighting affected the mood when the Chief would look into the distance, how it affected the show during the electroshock therapy of McMurphy, and lastly how the transition from night to day really helped the play move along smoothly. During Chief’s monologues the lighting set the tone for him and was able to take the audience back to his native Indian reservoir. The blue hue that went along with his monologues really made one feel one with the Chief as if we were experiencing the same feeling and sites he was. With Chief looking up into the blue hue lighting it made it appear is if he was back at those ground and taking in the fresh air, whenever the stage went dark and that light flashed on him he seemed happy. The lighting helped make it seem as if you were back there with him on the Indian grounds, it allowed the audience to take that journey and ignore the setting around him, as if it took him out of the asylum and back to his home. As discussed in the chapter 10 in the text book, Theatre: The Lively Art, the light is crucial to giving focus and composition....

...Charmine Tan | 2011-16525 Arch 143 | Prof. Bo-Ot Lighting System Different lighting system are utilize for different spaces and functions. Instead of installing or changing lighting systems at once, it is more cost effective to have single lighting system that is flexible enough to accommodate multiple user needs. In general, the lighting system utilized demonstrates uniform lighting and accent lighting. These lighting systems may be used alternately or both at the same time. Uniform lighting is ideal for activities that require visual attention such as reading, writing or simple open gathering with family or guest. This may function well earlier in the night when users tends to wrap up their day, do homework, prepare for dinner and so on. Alternately for later in the night with less demanding visual task, accent lighting may be turned on to set mood and a soothing ambience. This is achieved with warm light perfect for relaxation and unwinding with activities such as chatting, drinking, watching movies and so on. Exterior Lighting Most space in the exterior setting does not require great visual attention but it is ideal to have good lighting system to improve visibility for the purpose of security. Additionally bollards are installed along the driveway for efficient lighting on the level of the car. White light is utilize for visibility and sufficient lighting necessary for visual outlook as well as visually demanding task such as garage works...

...Coming up with creative ideas for photo taking can be challenging enough, but getting the lighting right can be even more challenging. Lighting contributes many different feelings and effects when it comes to pictures. It can change the image, the mood and even the point of the photograph. Back lighting, artificial lighting, and simple portrait lighting are just a few examples of all the different types of lighting that can be used in photography. The image above illustrates back lighting. http://www.vistaview360.com/photography/contre_jour.htm. Back lighting is when light is behind your subject and is directed at your camera. Lighting in back often creates silhouettes easily which is demonstrated above. When mixed with fog or different atmospheric conditions, this can increase the dramatic effect of the photo. This may take practice or multiple shots since “an over exposed (too dark) photograph can result when the light is coming from behind the subject or when the subject is against a much brighter background, such as the sky” (Freeman Ch. 3 Pg. 70). Silhouettes are not the only purpose of backlight photography. Backlight photography can be used to achieve many looks. This next image is another example of using backlight, which looks completely different.

We are pretty much starting from scratch, so no worries. The first posts will be about what kind of gear you will need to do the minimalist strobe thing. When we are done having our way with your wallet (remembering that light gives you far more bangfor-the-buck than does fast glass or the latest digital camera or 300/2.8) we'll move into basic technique. And after that, we'll keep it going with periodical essays and ideas on how to improve (or refresh) your lighting ability. When you've worked your way through the basics of designing your light kit and learning how to use it, make a point to browse some of the examples in the "On Assignment" section. Those will be updated constantly, too. So keep checking back. You will likely have some questions along the way. Sadly, it is not possible for me to take the time to personally answer all of the one-to-one lighting questions that pop up. So try to resist asking them in the comments section. The only people reading this behind you are the people who are, well, behind you. You will find the one-to-one knowledge bank you seek in the Strobist Group on Flickr. There, you can ask away and get the diversity of response that you need. These are the lighting grad students, so to speak. They know this stuff, and are very enthusiastic about sharing...

...Lighting Lighting is an essential aspect of home furnishings that also makes interiors more pleasant and allows tasks and activities to be completed much more easily. Lighting energy and therefore, consumer cost, is a necessary consideration. Lamp is the technical term for what we call commonly a light bulb. A luminaire is the technical term for what is commonly called a lamp or fixture, which is a complete lighting unit. It includes the lamp holder, power connection, and any internal devices such as reflectors. Purposes of Lighting The purposes of residential lighting are: 1. Ambient lighting- needed to perform routine activities 2. Task lighting- needed to perform specific tasks such as reading 3. Decorative lighting- needed to create an aesthetically pleasing environment All three types of lighting are frequently combined in a space, and their purposes may overlap as required by the time of day or the uses of the room. Ambient Lighting- is also referred to as general lighting. It provides uniform light for general purposes but not enough for specific tasks. Ambient light can be direct or indirect. Direct- when direct light is used, nearly 90-100 percent of the light is directed toward the surface to be lit. The direct light shines directly downward from the luminaire. Downlights are fixtures that are installed on the ceiling or wall to cast light below. If...

...As a set and/or lighting designer, what effects would you want to create for your audience in Act 1 and Act 2? Explain how your set design/lighting design would change from Act 1 to Act 2. A Doll’s House by Henrick Ibsen is an iconic play expressing harsh truths on social rules and etiquette in the late 1800’s. The play allows a simple yet symbolic set and lighting design – forcing the audience to think and question the play writes intentions as well as the interpretation of the director. The play is over a period of three days; Act 1 is on Christmas Eve and Act 2 being over Christmas day –the set changes over both acts in small but significant ways allowing the audience to understand the detrition of the perfect reality in which Nora lives by. As a set or lighting designer, I would want the audience to experience a tense, chilling and abrupt atmosphere that illuminates the distorted reality, which is being broken slowly. As women during the late 1800’s where not meant to become involved with the dealings of money and business – it was the man’s job. By doing this Nora has brought on a sense of shame and disgrace to her family, as Helmer is lead to believe by the influence of society that he can no longer control his wife. In Act 1, Ibsen indicates to the set and lighting designers how he wishes the play to be set up. From the stage directions I am able to understand that the atmosphere within the opening scene of the play should be ‘comfortable and tasteful’ but ‘not...

...Lighting for Results The goals of any interior retail lighting system are often the same: to attract and guide customers, to help them evaluate merchandise and to assist them in quickly and easily completing the sale. If done correctly, lighting has been proven to increase merchandise sales. The Guiding Light While lighting must attract customers to the retail space, it must enable customers to read signage and move throughout the store. The quantity and quality of the illumination will create a lasting impression and will help customers decide whether they want to return to the store in the future to shop. The Buying Decision Customers will not make a purchasing decision until they have the opportunity to evaluate merchandise and determine its specific attributes, such as color, texture and quality. Illumination must be sufficient so customers can read price tags and all labels. In facilities such as clothing stores, the lighting must be sufficient in sales areas and dressing rooms so customers can see how the items look before they purchase them. It’s a Sale! The lighting within a store must facilitate customer transactions. Once customers make a final decision, they must be able to easily locate the sales register. The lighting should also help sales personnel quickly ring up the sale, scan credit cards and wrap packages. Good lighting will help minimize returns since customers can fully evaluate merchandise in the store and...

...Case Studies Radical innovation at Philips Lighting 1.0 Introduction To state the obvious, radical innovation isn’t easy. It involves taking a leap into the unknown – and is particularly difficult for established organizations who have a track record of success which they don’t want to put at risk. So how does an organization jump the tracks? How can it switch off its immune system and open itself up to new – and potentially dangerous – inputs? How can it reframe, let go of its old ways of looking at the world and take on something which is very new – but by definition untried and risky? These are not academic challenges but the very stuff of innovation management – the essence of what it means to lead strategically. Put very simply, innovation is a survival imperative. If organizations don’t change what they offer the world – products and services – and the ways in which they create and deliver those offerings (processes) then they risk being left behind and at the limit disappearing. History shows us an almost Darwinian pattern of the rise of new entrepreneurial and agile organizations which mature, become comfortable and then fat and gradually lose their edge. Middle age gives way to a kind of sclerosis where change is reduced to smaller and smaller increments until one day the organization is upstaged by external events and unable to move fast enough to cope. It is the new kids on the block who exploit the new technology, pick up on the new market...

...hour earlier. This darkness also brings along many crimes, since it gets darker earlier does not mean that the people will go home an hour earlier. By keeping the time in the Day Light saving mode, daylight will be extended longer and thus not exposing individuals to night time crimes any sooner than they have to be. By keeping in DST, we would be extending the daylight hours into the evening hours. In 2002, researchers from Britain gathered all available studies on effects of improved lighting on crime from both American and British studies. They relied on studies that included that included crime in both experimental and control areas. In this study, they found that 25% of the crimes like assault, larceny, and juvenile crimes occurred within the first six late afternoon-early evening hours where lighting was poor or non-existent as compared to areas that had better lighting (Calandrillo, 2008). On the other hand, out of Britain some studies have come about and are stating that lighting has no bearing on crimes. Most crimes occur when there are few, if any witnesses and help target potential targets, along with allowing the criminals to utilize the light to minimize the risk for them by allowing them to see what they are doing.

...“There has been consensus among scientists for years that global warming is a serious problem and that it is caused by human activity” (“Global Warming Solutions A Basics.”, n.d.).I am here to tell you, global warming is a real and serious threat. With the amount of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere the land and ocean temperatures have increased. Over the last 25 years, 11 of the 12 warmest years on record have occurred in the past 12 years. Something needs to be done to change this trend. This is where each and every one of us comes in. You might not think things in your everyday life have an effect on global warming but you are wrong. Here in the Midwest, we are at the center of our global warming problems and can be at the center of our solutions (“Global Warming Solutions A Basics.”, n.d.). Just making relatively small changes in your homes can make a huge impact on global warming if everyone makes similar changes. A new heating and cooling system is one of the biggest upfront costs for a green change, but it has the biggest return as well; in the form of money saved and lessening pollution. “As much as half of the energy used in your home goes to heating and cooling. So making smart decisions about your home's heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system can have a big effect on your utility bills” (“Heat & Cool Efficiently,” n.d.). Which is why you should start with this change. Although simply replacing your system all together could be the most cost effective...

...and replacement of these lights a priority. Identifying the problem: Although the city has already stated that nonworking street lights has the culprit to the problem the real problem is low visibility. At what level of light output is conditions considered acceptable; for instance is a 1000 watt bulb considered adequate for 500 feet of road? Is this acceptable for all roads? Is a residential area roads need different lighting requirements as a highway or what about historic areas that want to maintain a time period look and feel through the area? For this exercise we say that historic areas will not accrue changes under this program, residential areas need a 500 wattage bulb every 1000 feet, and highways need a 1000 watt bulb every 500 feet. Understanding the problem Low visibility: Are current street lights working? If so, are the lights adequate to meet acceptable levels? If not, how far are the lights poles positioned apart? And what wattage of bulbs is being used? Do these meet the minimum standards set above? Identifying Alternate solutions: If lighting is not meeting acceptable levels should more lights be added or should existing lights be replaced due to the inability of the current lights to provide adequate amount of light. Selecting the best solution: Multiple solutions are possible; for every different type of road a different solution is possible. Example: A historic section will not have any changes, but highways with light poles spread 1000 feet apart with...
