Lighting Design

The project I will improve for lighting design will be our first one Identity as we didn’t focus on what lighting was needed for the performance. The first sequence showed everyone walk to the middle of the stage to get their pictures taken. I would use a White spotlight flashing on the stage to depict the photography portraying a mood of a paparazzi to the show. In hindsight, making the scene alongside the music more faster. If it is slower than I will have three or two flashes of spotlight for each person that walks on.

Next when someone introduces their verbatim I will have a dim blue wash over the person who’s speaking, so I can caption their facial expressions. This will help the audience to understand whenever these people are speaking there is some importance to them coming on, giving them more attention to the audience.

When Shadhut’s act comes on I'll have a grey backdrop indicating an old charlie chaplin style to the performance. I will do this, because it is a great way to demonstrate that this is a street performance to the audience and everyone watching from behind. As a result creating an ominous vibe as the actors that are watching Shadhut are curious yet cautious in knowing what he is about to do next in his mime act.
