Designing with Light.

Masterclass.

An insight into how Lighting Designers works with the rest of the creative team.

First impression are very important. 

    The lighting of an auditorium before the performance can be influenced to create a scene. 

Design approach:

• Script/music/director
• Scene desgin
• Camera work
• Stars - 'jewel like'
• Pace

Side light is important because it can make the performer stand out against a fabulous background.

Look at...

Maria Bjornson's model - stalls view, Prison camp in Siberia.

George Souglides' costume design.

- Projection can be the answer to a lack of scenery.

Front cloth - used to do scene changes. (CCTA)

CGI is where things are right now! Always have someone who knows how to use it.
