is a theatre job roles website however the description of a lighting designers job is still accurate to what I believe to be my role in this production. The website says the lighting designer not only just decides how light or dark the set should be but is in control of creating a mood and a depth to the production that connects to its aesthetic, through lighting. This means I will have to match the mood of our scripts to the mood of our set and use high key lighting that is moderately bright and in a way cheerful. The set cannot be heavily shadowed although according to this website it is the lighting designers job to give the objects of the set shape and depth. Heavy shadows would not fit our productions mood so I will try to lighten the shadows rather than completely eliminate them.
I will also have to learn how to properly use the lighting desk and ensure everyone who is lighting during our show knows the exact timing and nature of all lighting changes. Although there are not many planned changes as of yet I am thinking about using a red gel over one light to match the mood to anytime Anger is raging which will add to the anger and the danger in the atmosphere.
We have also discussed having the set silhouetted when we open the show each time and I will be looking into making that possible.
