Professor: Jon Egging-Intro to Theatre

DIFFERENT KINDS OF LIGHTS
USE OF LIGHTS

REVEALS SHAPE & FIGURE

TRANSITION & COLOR
COLOR AND MEANING

RED=DEATH for example, in the play ‘Blood
Wedding’

Blue=Confidence,
loyalty, wisdom,
faith, truth

Yellow=Wealth, happiness,
optimism, calmness
MY IDEAS FOR ‘As You Like It’
Transitions

Most of the transitions will occur when switching from the forest to the city, so between
dark and light, respectively. Obviously the city will be lighted but keeping the background
dark and white light on the characters will make it easier two switch to the forest if
necessary. The forest will also need lights the ‘break from the trees’ and cast shadows
I want to imagine that when the brothers are fighting, they are not
switching positions. In this picutre there is no light in the background.
However, I want to split the background into three parts. On the left side
(according to this picture) I want to have a blue backlight to represent
Orlando due to his confidence, and yearn to be an intellectual. In the
middle is Adam, the servant. I want to have a subtle yellow to show
calmness, because he is the one who wants peace between the brothers.
For Oliver on the right I want to have a red backlight to show his anger, and
lust.
SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO SHOW THE FOREST OF ARDEN

The blue will represent the darkness, the green will emphasize the
different types of trees and their shape, in the forest. A spotlight will
emphasize the actors. However I would imagine having lighter shades
of the light, just because the play is not depressing.
When Rosalind and Celia are alone talking to
each other…

Most of the time we see them in the forest. I was
thinking of always having them under the spotlight
and then having a purple backlight since they both
represent nobility.
Touchstone has a unique character

I would like to use a subtle
yellow. Even though he is the
court appointed clown, he
has a lot to say and he has a
lot of knowledge and
wisdom
The trees which Orlando writes his
poetry on

For this I really want to focus on the shape of each tree because each
tree represents a different poem and each poem represents a different
mood. I want to have a slight red with green giving the figure of the
tree from one direction and a spotlight focused on each poem. Just as if
the sunlight was casting light on certain parts of the tree in the forest
Orlando and Oliver make up

Have a light purple light on both of them and a dark blue
backlight, to show that they are noble and loyal to each
other
ROSALIND GETTING WHAT SHE DREAMED

Have a subtle yellow
light as she walks down
to Orlando, and have a
spotlight on Orlando
HAPPY ENDING and everyone else who gets married

Obviously it is a happy ending, and I think there should be light on
everyone, but to emphasize they location I would want to still be focused
on the forest using dark lights, considering that it does not specify if the
marriage occurs at night or day.
