This project studied concepts involving lighting style and the progression of light over time in a non−changing physical environment. Design approach was derived from an understanding and application of a film style. The approach was then applied to the lighting of a room over the course of one day.
Project Date 02/12/2002 Project Description Physical Lighting of an Interior Project Guidelines Each team was required to select a film type, as distinguished by genre (action/adventure, horror, science fiction, epic, western, musical, romantic comedy, crime/gangster, thriller, war) that was particularly suited to the application of dramatic light in the environment provided. We then had to Apply the selected genre to lighting design decisions to express the passage of a single day in the still life enclosure.
Not only did this necessicate the decision of an effective "start" and "end" to the day, but also the facilitation, design and programming of a linked lighting cue sequence approximately two minutes in length.
This project required the orchestration of one day within the context of a film genre, ours being Science Fiction, and the use of light to establish a clear sense both of interior and exterior.
