In stage performance, the lighting effect plays a pivotal role. Different lights will bring different feelings to the audience. The lighting designer uses the light and shade and the change of color to serve as the emotional communication link between actors and the audience.
We are dedicated to discovering the secrets of all kinds of light sources. Artificial light plays a vital role in the entertainment world, and color is indispensable. Lighting designers make their ideas come true with the lamps they choose, creating gorgeous lights through colorful color combinations, changes in light and shade, and the movement of light.

 



Selection of stage lighting

Most of our common stages are framed stage structures, with fan-shaped backward-spreading auditoriums arranged in a stairlike manner facing the stage entrance, and the audience watches the performance through the "fourth wall". Stage of all space design services for the audience, fan at design so as to accommodate more viewers, a ladder-like distribution in order to obtain better watch the effect, the perspective of depth range makes the light transmission in the theatre, changing lighting scene, tone or color contrast to make light is full of charm, backlight can realize the effect of silhouette, The tension of space and time can be expressed by the combination of light and surface. The edges of specific areas of the stage can be refined through color variations

In the theater, if select only fluorescent lamp and incandescent lamp as a basic source of light, stage shows is a sense of simplicity, and have a long time feeling, it is a pity that this kind of lamps and lanterns has been largely abandoned by contemporary lighting designer, and is effective for modern intelligent lamps and lanterns, the stage lights more clarity and gorgeous. In the process of performance, if deliberately use light to enhance performance dramatic effect, to highlight the stage shadow of characters or the background, design of light always serve the plot, the performance of the atmosphere to benefit performance, performance process should not be too dazzling lights and a presumptuous guest usurps the host's role, unless the performance in the process of the stereo or other departments have a temporary need to buffer the door, Add an improvised starter dish and use a brief light show to cover up any awkwardness caused by a missing cast or an audio glitch

In daily life, both in visual habit and life habit, cannot exist without a no gainsaying preconceived leopard, we enjoy the film and television lighting effects, unconsciously brought it are compared in the stage performance, in the film and television, the illuminate of lamplight Angle, balance, brightness, color balance is fine adjustable, and in stage performance, Lighting design of pursuit is a kind of big Angle of intuitive feelings, without sunscreen, the characters in the crisscross of light and shadow zone, light and color interactions reflect brings many accident and surprise, particularly in the outdoor or sports venues that large-scale song and dance party, the radiant, stab the lights of the roller is more intuitive visual impact to the audience, More can shorten the distance with the audience, so that the audience into it. Big, shocking, spectacular, haunting -- it's hard to overstate the words used to describe the scene. It's truly immersive.

The creative basis of stage lighting

Stage designers create backgrounds that are subject to the needs of the plot. They use light to render the artistic mood and sentiment that dancers or singers want to express. The stage without background is empty and monotonous under the direct light. Therefore, we should open our minds to create an artistic conception full of verve, set off the atmosphere of the scene, arouse the emotions of the performers, and make every effort to make the audience resonate in their own aesthetic trends

Light and shadow are born brothers, no matter how to project, there is light there is shadow. To behave a certain kind of artistic conception, want to use beam to make shadow, to depict a certain kind of atmosphere, also need to eliminate with light "redundant" shadow, the projection Angle of the effect that the thousands of different shades and lamplight is closely related, complement each other. Generally, what place of lamp bright division pursues is a kind accords with nature, benefit at the effect that expresses true emotion

The basic principle of optical perspective is "near big far small", in terms of theater, far from the stage of the light and color is the darkest. The line of sight of the audience has far and near, left and right. When the lighting decorator is dimming, the strength of the light should fully consider the acceptance ability of the last row of audience's vision to the weakest light. In the process of lighting gradient, the illumination of the light should be pushed to the highest, and the visual sensory comfort of the audience in the middle should be taken as the reference standard. The contrast between light and shade is also one of the factors that must be considered. The span of the audience area is very large, otherwise there will be an unbalanced corner

Compared with the past, the scenery on today's stage has been greatly reduced. The bright and clear LED background screen has gradually replaced the old projection slides, projectors and other background equipment. The reduction of illusion background scenery has reduced the need for lighting

Light is cast into the middle of the stage, and only when it hits the surface of the stage can it be distinguished. The lighting of the stage background is relatively convenient, but the lighting of the dynamic performance takes a lot of effort. Usually the light and shade of the performance area should be combined with the background, and the brightness of the background should be lower than that of the performance area. All changes are inseparable from their philosophy. In the final analysis, the focus of lighting highlights people rather than things

The progress of intelligent lamps and lanterns has greatly promoted the development of lighting technology. With the help of these modern lamps and lanterns, extremely expressive lighting effects can be easily created. With them, lighting designers can now easily realize their own creativity. Sports lights will produce magical colors. Without these advanced new equipment, it would be almost impossible to quickly hold a large-scale outdoor performance. They can be found in large-scale sports activities, dance and dance parties, wedding celebrations and other grand events


The idea of creative lighting

Numerous stage props and effect lamps are the effective tools for experts to show lighting creativity. The form of lighting is carefully arranged and designed in an orderly way. After determining the direction of the light source, we can choose the style and effect of the lighting according to our idea, and we can choose the light color that is very different from the surrounding environment. Where there is light, there is shadow. The light around the shadow and the shadow itself can produce wonderful changes in color. The same method can create another novel light, where the interaction between light and shadow does not require uniform transition, but forms distinct boundaries. If a uniform scattering of light is required, the form of light becomes monotonous and lacks visual impact. In such a scenario, there is no clear light and shadow in the space

When considering a lighting form, must consider the problem of color temperature, different light color temperature will affect the integral atmosphere of the stage, sets, clothing material and color, make-up style reflect color of color temperature is not the same, if confirmed the quality of the light, we can easily use color knowledge to choose the light source

Lighting designers give the light with vitality, use cold equipment to create stunning visual effects, to bring people the enjoyment of beauty and spiritual shock, every successful stage performance, all pass their fashion concept

During the performance, the lighting designers are more like playing with the lighting. They control the lighting console of the stage, and the unique and creative lighting is often inadvertently displayed to the audience. Color is the finishing touch of stage performance. In stage performance, we should not only pay attention to the way of color invocation, but also pay attention to the combination of dimming curve, and grasp the intensity of light and the speed of gradual change. At the same time, we should also consider the collocation of color, which color is too bright, whether the form and color should be closely related, and whether the sound in the music matches, each lighting designer should be well aware of the wisdom given by each color

Stage lighting is only part of the overall performance effect of the stage. Creative lighting is the goal of our work. Imagination is a powerful guide for our progress. It motivates us to move forward and review our technical and artistic expression. When it comes to lighting design, creativity, artistic accomplishment and comprehensive ability contribute to your creativity!
