Introduction
Today we had our second production meeting, and today we have just gotten a rendering of the space that we will be using for our show, which gave us new ideas about what we want to add in terms of lighting.
Recording of the meeting
Key points of the meeting
Because of rendering of the image rendering of the venue we received, we saw that there were some lights on the side of the space that pointed up into the ceiling, which we thought maybe we could use for ambient light, especially for the scenes with the storm and the island lights. We also thought about adding some FX to the lights on the side so then it could mimic the movement of the leaves on the island. (For example, the green lights on the side could dim rhythmically.)
There is also an idea of adding footlights next to the stage on the ground combined with the smoke machine which we wanted to maybe position it under the stage which is raised (See Image Rendering of the stage), which then the footlights would be able to light up the smoke produced by the smoke machine, therefore as the smoke flows out from under the stage, it would create a very nice atmosphere, especially in the scene of the storm in the sea.
Another idea we had about the footlights was the island scenes, we could add some lights that shine up on to the actor's faces, which could be a blueish color, making it more realistic that they are at the beach and the color of the sea is reflected on their faces.
The idea of putting the smoke machine under the stage was to make the smoke (which we are using haze, therefore it flows upwards) rise from under the stage, and make it very atmospheric if we shine different color lights on it, and add on to the mood of the scene.
Evaluation
Today we had some great ideas about the lighting that we could add to the play, but we are not sure if those are achievable because of the restrictions of the venue, and whether they allow us to position the smoke machine under the stage.
