- Soil fixture
- Focused beam of light
- Fernel Fixture
- Softer beam of light
- used for stage/colour washes
- used for blending with other lights/colours
- can cover large areas
- LED Lights
- Shutters allow you shape the beam
- eg: squares
- Gobo - can design the lights
- glass gobos are detailed - 400 dollars a piece (estimated)
- steel gobos are about 20 dollars as they aren't so detailed
- breakup gobos are able to put texture on the stage
- You can make a gobo out of aluminium by-plates
- Iris - circular shutter
- used with a handle/lever
- you can pull down a pool of light
- Gel
- change the colour of the beam coming out
- Lenses have many different degrees
- the smaller the degree, the bigger the colour is going to be which is exiting the fixture
- smaller the fixture, the brighter
- due to intensity and power
- over distance, brightness decreases
- 19 degrees - max brightness at stage-level
- positioning of glass has an effect on the fixture and the beam's dispersion
- Fernel
- stepped fixtrues
- barn-door
- is able to close off the light while letting the light still remain soft
- The deeper the saturation of a gel for a fernel, the more fernels you are going to need in order to get the brightness for that wash of light
- eg: purple wash - you'll need more fixtures in order to see it bright compared to a yellow wash
- Distribution
- direction of which the light enters the stage
- Intensity
- how bright the lights are able to be
- Movement
- timing between queues
- Colour
- colour of the lights
- If you can see the actor, you can 'hear' the actor
Functions
- Visibility of the set
- Selective focus
- Modelling
- Mood
You lose any sense of depth if lighting goes wrong
- eg - brightness of characters up front and a dimmed down background
- Make sure all the elements used actually have an effect on the message of the play
