THR 306 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Depth Perception, Radiant Energy
Document Summary
When you build your cues you need to act like a landscape artist. November 17, 2016: start with the horizon and move out from there, doesn"t mean that the actor won"t ever be lighted. They just aren"t the first thing you should light. Key lighting- your primary and secondary lighting sources: primary. Ex: light that bounces off the scenery, floor, or anything onstage. Need to pay attention to the stance of the actor because this can change the depth perception: can enhance what the character is doing with the lights. Ex: hamlet outside of his mother"s bedroom window doesn"t really need to be lit well because of the action he is doing, he"s being sneaky. The costume the actor wears will depend what color of light you need to put on them. Define color in two ways: 1. This are reflective properties of an objects surface: 2. Through the color receptive cones in the human eyes.
