Points of stage lighting constitution

First, the performance space construction

    Architecture, sculpture, painting is the time and space remain relatively timeless art in the plane or in three-dimensional. Performing arts as an integrated time and space art needs to maintain a relationship of Theatrical space - theater or venue. Stage artists in the show beyond time and space together constitute the visual and auditory creative space has a sound, light, color, shape and other multi-dimensional factors, and over time, as well as the plot, the scene of the conversion and continued development. Whether turning dance or opera performances drama plot, at the same time, the light show in the audience with a visual or unconsciously way light and shade effect changes, physical changes in lighting equipment or space itself has the function of each cause kinds of visual performance results. To shape the image rendering color, rhythm changes, etc. parameters pregnant performances and formed with a visual vocabulary of special theatrical space atmosphere, which affects mood changes of the audience, composed scenes, actors, audience interaction and theatrical content match specific space .

1, performance space

1) Stage: Discover the characteristics of the scene show studio theater and other performances as well as the environment can take advantage of the objective conditions of lighting design.

2) theater, studio and other performance space situation:

    * Space Environment: investigation theater, performance measurement plan drawing or obtain space environment, cross-sectional view data theater proscenium height, width, depth and scale data stage units.

    * Device status: the number of boom length, arrangement pitch, sequentially numbered, flat location.

    * Electricity load: Mains rated load capacity, the branch circuit rated load capacity, etc.

2, read the script and creative ideas

    The script is performed lighting equipment, based on creative vision, which can dig and creation related to the performance space to be refined processing.

    1) to identify the characteristics of a representative character, plot change, conflict, imagine the desired environment.

    2) a description of the era, time, season, scene environment, the light source direction and other aspects of color vision and positioning.

    3) to determine the performance and performance methods and means of expression compatible. To think what can be created with the lighting plot coincide stage visual effects.

    4) script prompts scene, stage equipment.

3, time and space conversion performance

    1) weather: sunrise and sunset, dusk to night, night to dawn, seasonal variation, moonlit sky, place and geographical changes.

    2) geographical space, mental space, scene space, virtual space, local and global space conversion.

4, from flat to three-dimensional shape space vision

    For each body surface processing and the production of visual effects and the prospect of a combination of space, medium shot space background space plane composition performance applications. Upper, middle and lower part of the space inside the organization and the methods to achieve the forecast. For example: to set the position of the backlight: horizontal, vertical angle, height position, and so the number of lamps.

5, the local composition and the overall picture

    Control light and color and lighting areas. In the size, shape, composition stage to show the number of visual images.

6, select manifestation

    To determine the appropriate performance according to the tabular overall creative style. Past, present and future, even thought, hallucinations, dreams, memories, hopes, feelings, impressions, etc., abstraction and realism.

7, showing infinite space in a limited space

    There is a huge change in vastly different spatial effects in the show. The performance of real space and virtual space: a particular stage space with a particular form of expression makes it sound stage: Dialogue: monologue like. The actual space environment to transform and expand, shrink or exaggerated or portrayed. Mental space to play personas description and performance.

8, the lighting changes the way

    1) to change the plot is spatially varied opportunities.

    2) to determine the lines of light change opportunity.

    3) to determine the operation of the lights change opportunity.

    4) the music or sound effects to determine changes in lighting opportunity.

    5) to determine the time the lights change opportunity.

9, different genres of spatial processing

    Classical, romantic, natural, realistic, symbol, three-dimensional, futuristic, composition, performance, surreal music, sound effects related to the space-time conversion: melody, melody, rhythm. - "Stage Lighting Design Summary"
