This scene has many parts to it and I needed to create an effective and clear transition and difference between each segment.
As it was an upbeat dance scene I decided to add a chase
with all my red white and blue lights on the floor and in the rig. I did this
to create an upbeat and excited atmosphere; also by adding this instead of a
general cover or one or two coloured lights from either side it made a more
dramatic and deliberate lighting change between, when the reverend comes in to
make his speech, it directs the audience’s attention to him instead of him getting
lost in the space and people not realising where the new voice is coming from. To highlight when the reverend comes in I found this perticularly challenging to highlight the actors chest and head because my spot or general cover could not reach far enough and I did not want to add in a white side light as it would have taken some of the change away from the chase to the highlight and made it less dramatic to avoide this I would like to have used a follow spot to pick him up better however we did not have the ability to do this so I decided to add in as much general cover into that space as possible. I also added in all of my blue back light to add depth to the scene and to enchance the change between the chase and this highlight.
