THR 306 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Lighting Designer
Document Summary
Lighting designers in charge of things to be seen and to keep things from being. The lighting designer rarely invents and makes theatrical lighting equipment: normally buying things out of catalogues or stores and manipulate these. How an object or actor is seen in the light is a choice of the lighting designer: but must collaborate with the director and other creative artists in the productions. The farther a light is the smaller the lens, the closer a light the larger the lens (if we wants the same amount of light from both) Lighting designers use the actors" way of looking at the stage: stage left = audience right, stage right = audience left. Lights will raise or lower depending on the height of the set and what effect you want to do with them. Original gobos were from the heat radiators from home. Architectural: use to project a structure that you want through.
