Lights and Lasers May Be Used As a Visual Effect
PURPOSE 1 Stage lighting has multiple functions, including: • Selective visibility: The ability to see what is occurring on stage. Any lighting design will be ineffective if the viewers cannot see the characters, unless this is the explicit intent. • Revelation of form: Altering the perception of shapes onstage, particularly three- dimensional stage elements. • Focus: Directing the audience's attention to an area of the stage or distracting them from another. • Mood: Setting the tone of a scene. Harsh red light has a different effect than soft lavender light. • Location and time of day: Establishing or altering position in time and space. Blues can suggest night time while orange and red can suggest a sunrise or sunset. Use of mechanical ﬁlters ("gobos") to project sky scenes, the Moon, etc. • Projection/stage elements: Lighting may be used to project scenery or to act as scenery onstage. • Plot (script): A lighting event may trigger or advance the action onstage and off. • Composition: Lighting may be used to show only the areas of the stage which the designer wants the audience to see, and to "paint a picture".[4][5] • Effect: In pop and rock concerts or DJ shows or raves, colored lights and lasers may be used as a visual effect. Lighting design is an art form, and thus no one way is the "correct" way. There is a modern movement that states that the lighting design helps to create the environment in which the action takes place while supporting the style of the piece. "Mood" is arguable while the environment is essential. 1) Selective visiblity: The #1 function of light is to see, to illuminate, to make visible to the nake human eye.

Signature of Author Department of Arh(i'.ecture May 6, 1983 Certified by Robert Preusser Thesis Supervisor Accepted by /Nicholas Negroponti Chairman, Departmental Graduate Committee RotcW MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY AJG 5 1983 -2- OPTICAL PERFORMANCE by SHARON HAGGINS-DUNN Submitted to the Department of Architecture on May 6, 1983 in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Visual Studies ABSTRACT The initial exploration of environmental art involved a study of light and color, which led to an examination of environmental performance and scenic projection techniques. Eventually, the thesis research resulted in the development of an environmental performance that integrates projected light, projection screens and live performance. A variety of materials for screens were ex- amined in order to determine their transparent and light reflecting qualities and to devise a transparent luminous surface. Among those examin- ed were pelon, nylon, silk, fiberglass, plexiglas, vinyl, and aluminum netting. Included in the in- vestigation was a review of projection equipment, lamp housings, projector bulb specifications, fila- ment design and performance data. In an attempt to control sequence and to create movement of colored images, 16mm film projection, optical print- ing and cameraless animation techniques were uti- lized.
