16
2007Webster’s High School Drama Dept General Lighting Provides a diffused, shadow less, wash of light over the entire stage space
17
2007Webster’s High School Drama Dept Specific Lighting Introduced by the lime light in the middle of the 19th century, provides a sharp, highly controlled shaft of light.lime light These shafts were used to highlight a small area of the stage, a principle actor, or create the illusion of sunlight (or moonlight). These units were typically placed in the balconies of the auditorium or the galleries on the sides of the theatre.
18
Common Lighting Terminology Flood A broad beam of light, less directional and intense than a spot. Spot A controlled, narrowly-focused beam of light. Tungsten Light from an ordinary light bulb containing a thin coiled tungsten wire that becomes incandescent (emits light) when an electric current is passed along it. Tungsten colour temperature is around 2800K to 3400K. Also known as incandescent light. FresnelA light which has a lens with raised circular ridges on its outer surface. The fresnel lens is used to focus the light beam.
19
Flood This is the simplest type of lantern, consisting of a lamp and a reflector in a box, with no lens. The reflector concentrates the light towards the opening in the box. There is no control over the focussing of a flood, other than its general direction. Symbol for a flood on a lighting plan
20
Fresnel Lights Stage Lighting Fresnels provide a round soft edge circle of light that can be adjusted from spot to flood. You can change the color of this theatrical light by placing color gel in front of the unit.
21
Fresnel The Fresnel (pronounced "Frennel") is a soft-edged spotlight with more control over beam angle than floods, but less control than elipsodials. The lens is a series of stepped concentric circles on the front and pebbled on the back It was first used in stage lighting in the late 1920s. The size of the beam can be adjusted by moving the lamp and reflector closer to or farther from the lens, either by a screw mechanism or a simple slide. The beam can be shaped by the four barndoors attached to the front of the lantern. Strand Cadenza Fresnel Symbol for a Fresnel on a lighting plan
22
Fresnel Fresnel "spotted down" - lens further from glass Fresnel "flooded" – lens closer to glass
23
Ellipsoidals A stage lighting ellipsoidal light, is the most versatile conventional fixture of stage lighting. While it emits a circular beam of light, you have the ability to adjust every aspect of it for your theatrical lighting needs.
24
Leko Continued 1 - You can change the diameter of the circle to adjust to your stage lighting need. 2 - You can change the shape of the circle using shutters that will help adjust to your theatre lighting need. 3 - You can change the colour to help adjust to your theatre lighting needs. 4 - You can project images and shapes with gobos that can produce scenery with stage lighting. 5 - You can have a sharp or fuzzy image. 6 - You can lock the focus of the light where you need it.
25
ETC Source 4 They are very similar to the Lekos, because they are ellipsoidal and strong lights. They are stronger and used more frequently in theatres.
26
Followspot A stage lighting followspot is a theatrical lighting unit that is manipulated by a followspot operator (human) behind the unit, to point the light at the desired object. Followspots have the ability (in general) to change color, focus and size of the circle easily. Some folks call it a theatrical spot light. It is comprised of a stand, a yoke, and the head.
27
Followspot With the lenses far apart, the beam is narrow With the lenses close together, the beam is wider.
28
Parcan The lantern itself is simply a "can" in which the PAR lamp is contained (hence "Parcan"). The PAR (Parabolic Aluminised Reflector) lamps are available in a range of beam angles depending on the amount of diffusion on the front lens of the lamp. The lamp is a sealed beam unit consisting of a lamp, reflector and lens in one. Because the light produced can be very intense, Parcans are especially suited to strong colours or for special effect. Be aware that deep colours can burn out quickly at full intensity. Symbol for a parcan on a lighting plan This lantern first came into use in the 1970's in the Rock and Roll industry. It quickly found favour due to the relative cheapness of the lantern, the weight and the ease of focussing.
29
The Standard 3-Point Lighting Technique - Key Light Key Light This is the main light. It is usually the strongest and has the most influence on the look of the scene. It is placed to one side of the camera/subject so that this side is well lit and the other side has some shadow.
30
The Standard 3-Point Lighting Technique – Fill Light Fill Light This is the secondary light and is placed on the opposite side of the key light. It is used to fill the shadows created by the key. The fill will usually be softer and less bright than the key. To achieve this, you could move the light further away or use some spun. You might also want to set the fill light to more of a flood than the key.
31
The Standard 3-Point Lighting Technique - Back Light Back Light The back light is placed behind the subject and lights it from the rear. Rather than providing direct lighting (like the key and fill), its purpose is to provide definition and subtle highlights around the subject's outlines. This helps separate the subject from the background and provide a three-dimensional look.
32
CYC/ Cyclorama A drop hung upstage designed to reflect light
33
Scrim A drop which is opaque when illuminated from the front and semi transparent when lit from behind.
34
Gel – colored filter for a lighting instrument
35
Intelligent lighting A lighting instrument that moves, and can change focus, color, and patern
36
LED LED lighting is able to change to any color in the spectrum Produces Less Heat Can last up to 50,000 hours Is basically better in every way
37
GOBO A steel frame used to create a pattern in lighting.
38
Gobo Uses Breakups Designed to “break up the light”. This provides texture and visual interest. Shapes can be geometric or organic. Representative/ Literal Used to represent something like a cloud, a lightning bolt, a window, etc. Decorative – Holiday symbols or words. Gobos can be steel, or glass. Glass gobos can be colored and gobo rotators can be used to spin an image. http://www.rosco.com/gobos/ http://www.rosco.com/gobos/
