Week 2- Jasmine


I am in Ohio visiting my family and I am staying with one of my family members that has a house built in the early 1900s. We had just got done watching As Above So Below ( I recommend it) and it was time to go to bed. I am 1, not used houses having attics and basements which bumped up the creep factor and 2, not used to doors having actual key holes. I could not go to sleep because I was jet lagged. So while doing homework a light turned on outside my door. Spoiler alert, the source of light was just a hall lamp on a timer, not a demon. However, I took this picture because I liked the light filtering through the cracks in the door and the key hole. It was also fitting the creepy vibes I got from the old, historic type house and the movie (which was about people entering the gates of hell). With the help of the sound surrounding me (attic creaking, wind blowing outside) I was fully curious enough to open my door and find that lamp with the timer. So I'm kind of disappointed because no ghost hunting for me. I will return to California in a few days unpossessed by our underworld friends.

    Oh how beautiful! I love old houses and the history in all those little details, just like this keyhole! So classic! Great commentary and storytelling behind the timing of the light coming on and the situation you found yourself in! It's definitely interesting to note that our current moods or what we've experienced in any given day definitely puts a spin on the way we view things! Same with theater audiences and performers! The room is so dark otherwise! I'm glad you are not possessed ;)

    I am afraid of old houses because I feel like those houses are haunted! The key hole on the door is so dramatic and scary. It's so cool to look at it on the blog like this, but I wouldn't have been able to fall asleep if I were you... I feel like something else is looking back at you behind the door.

Site Specific Blog - Week 16 - Isabelle

I went to the Universal Studios to visit the Halloween Horror Nights. It was a great night with lots of fun and scary moments that were created with a great combination of sound, lighting and actors. An overall atmosphere was created by hazer and some small lighted spots on walls or spots with a fireplace and witches. I think designers used that to introduce the horror nights in calm way to slowly accustom the participants to the horror nights. I think the designers also wanted that the scale of being frightened can increase within the mazes and different areas. As I already been there for daytime, you could really tell the differences between the dream world of the universal studios and the horror world at nighttime. I was afraid that any moment someone would approach me from behind or from a hidden spot to scare me again. Usually I hate Halloween so I enjoyed the little lighted spots that looked for me really cute and not too scary (especially compared to the actual maze...

Week 14 - Isabelle Menze

    This week I was in the middle of the "pre-production" of our final project. In the play there is a silver moon as a light source. When I was walking through the streets I saw exactly what I imagined of that moon light mentioned in the play. There was a silver moon shining through the clouds, creating a moody and at the same time glamorous and mysterious atmosphere. The clouds looked moody, but the moon by itself added the glamorous, mysterious atmosphere because it was shining so bright. Even if it was a cold color (silver/ very light, cold blue), the clouds and the dark bluish night sky created a warm, mysterious feeling and environment. Even if the street was lighted with street lights so that the moon wasn't the only light source, it felt like it was like the main or the source of light on a stage. I think that was caused by the higher angle, the brighter color and the higher intensity. So it combined all the "stronger" parts of lighting and was ...

Week 2 - Rafael Medina

As I turned off the lobby lights at work, sunlight passed through one window and another, partially lighting a black chair. I wish I had a better camera lens on my mobile device that can handle the light glare a bit better. Oh well! Although the chair is not in the center of my photo, a strong case could be made that is object of attention. It's shadow is distorted. The front of the seat is absorbing light and the curvature of the padded seat can be noticed. I like this photo.   I feel like this photo can tell a hundred different stories.
