With the continuous development of drama art, the role of stage lighting has gradually been endowed with more connotations from the initial use of lighting. The design and application of stage lighting is of great significance in modern drama art. It is skillfully combined with stage scenery and music effects, which can more closely reflect the time and environment of the story, as well as the emotional changes and character relationships of the characters. Increase the artistic appeal of drama. Therefore, it is not only the most basic stage design element but also the main embodiment of the conception and imagination of performing arts. Good lighting can make the atrial performance perfect and beautiful.
What Is The Key Element When You Design The Stage Lighting?
After we understand the purpose of the lighting setting, then we start to consider the size and shape of the venue, as well as the height of the stage, which will impact the lighting design. Accordingly, the type of fixtures will also affect the type of light they produce, like the color temperature, beam angle, and intensity of the fixture when selecting them. Moreover, the key elements include using light cues, considering the audience, using special effects sparingly, testing lighting, using enough variation, and richly placed fixtures. There more consideration and take action, there is better performance.
What Are The Theater Lights And How To Set Them Up?
Before configuring lamps, you should first understand the types of lamps and their main functions and uses. Here I briefly introduce the performance of some lamps for the choice of lamp configuration.
1. Spotlight
The spotlight used on the stage refers to the plano-convex condenser used in front of the lamp. This kind of lamp can adjust the size of the light spot. The music beam coming out is more concentrated, and the light diffused next to it is relatively small. The focal length can be divided into long, medium, and short. , the sight distance can be increased as needed.
2. Soft light
In the entertainment industry, this kind of light is called a spotlight. In terms of the stage, in order to distinguish the above-mentioned plano-convex spotlight from being scattered and soft, it has a large diffusion area when used. Sometimes, in order to control the diffused light, a title page is added in front of the mirror to cover it all over. Ledeng has the feeling of obvious light spots, and the shooting distance is relatively short
3. Backlight
There is no mirror in front of this kind of light, and the light is completely emitted by the larger reflector at the back. With the same 2KW bulb, its brightness is brighter than that of the spotlight, so it is used when the strong light source and brightness are to be displayed on the stage. Its effect is better than other lamps, and its characteristic is that the beam is strong, but you should pay attention to its focus point when adjusting the light. It is not suitable to adjust the focus point on the color paper or the curtain, which will easily cause burning. In addition, black spots often appear in the center when adjusting the light. , In order to avoid black spots, add a ring-shaped baffle in the center of the front end of the lamp, the light spot emitted by it is large and difficult to close. Now there is a new kind of coating on the reflective bowl to make the outside light transmit backward to reduce the temperature in front of the lamp. It works very well. It is called cold light super spotlight. In fact, the structure of the lamp is the same as that of the backlight.
4. Imaging lights
Imaging is also called forming lamp, ellipsoidal spotlight. There are many kinds of beam angles that can be selected and applied according to the needs. The main feature is that it can cut the spot into squares, rhombus, triangles, and other shapes like a magic lantern, or project various patterns and patterns required. The power also has 1KW, 2KW, etc. Configuration is optional.
5. Downlight
PAR lamps, or beam lamps, are constructed by installing mirror bulbs in cylinders or bromine tungsten bulbs in reflective bowls. The main feature is that they emit relatively fixed beams with various beam angles. The spot size cannot be adjusted.
6. Sky row lights
High-power astigmatism lamps are used to illuminate the sky from top to bottom, requiring bright and balanced light with a large irradiation area
7. Floor lamps
High-power astigmatism lights are used to place on the stage, and the lower part of the canopy illuminates upwards, connecting with the light irradiated by the skylights, evenly up and down.
8. Wall washer
Long strips, generally can be used in a variety of colors to illuminate a large area of curtain or picture screen, and can also be used as a large-area balanced light spreading. Various colors of light can also be used at the same time to call out different colored beams
9. General astigmatism light
Such as iodine tungsten lamps and ordinary floodlights, mainly to uniformly illuminate a certain area, or between some scenes
