Week 10, Diana Herrera

It was a hot evening while driving home from school, so my sister and i decided to drive with the sun roof open. At a red light i turned to look at her and became astounded by the lighting composition lighting her. The warm street light was coming down on her through the roof while the red brake lights from the vehicle ahead highlighted her face. To see the warm and red lighting actually woke me up from my weariness. It's funny the way these two colors were able to symbolize, whether in a good or bad way, how warm of a night it was and how tired we truly were.

    Red tale light looks great on her face!

    ooooh cool! It's super neat to see a "model" being lit with very "theatrical" angles (like the downlight from the street and front light from the tail lights) but in a very real world setting! There's also such a strong feeling we all know too well when we're stuck in traffic and there's nothing but red tail lights up ahead in a busy bustling city where everyone seems to be moving except you stuck in the car. :) Nice!

    That looks so great! I love how the lighting makes her shining in the red/ pinkish color and how it represents the story of your night.

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 ...

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.
