00:00 - 00:01
this is ruined.
00:01 - 00:04
If I were the lighting designer, we're going to start
00:04 - 00:05
off with Act one scene one.
00:08 - 00:10
Here's A were introduced to most of the characters, as
00:11 - 00:14
well as seeing Mama's Bar for the first time.
00:14 - 00:17
So I feel as though having that natural light coming
00:17 - 00:21
to this makeshift bar would really show how third world
00:22 - 00:26
this really is, as well as having this natural, pure
00:26 - 00:28
light to be a facade as to what her business
00:29 - 00:33
actually is, as well as a way to mask some
00:33 - 00:35
of the traumas that these women have gone through.
00:36 - 00:37
Act one Scene two.
00:40 - 00:42
The place States of the bar is decorated in Christmas
00:43 - 00:46
lights, and it's very festive, so I figured it might
00:46 - 00:49
be dusk as it's getting packed with minors and soldiers.
00:50 - 00:52
So I feel as though having a nice blue calming
00:52 - 00:56
light would indicate that, as well as having thesis lighting
00:56 - 01:01
of the twinkling Christmas lights ECU unseen creep.
01:03 - 01:06
Here we have Sophie painting Salima Snails, and we find
01:06 - 01:10
out that she's pregnant and it's morning, so I would
01:10 - 01:13
like for it to have that golden ray of light
01:13 - 01:18
to show the early hours of the day, and it
01:18 - 01:21
show kind of against the characters to show that they're
01:22 - 01:25
hiding something or they're really struggling with their inner demons,
01:26 - 01:28
as you can see in this painting, how the light
01:28 - 01:31
creeps in through the trees while also know illuminating them.
01:33 - 01:37
That glancing for here we meet the commander and we
01:38 - 01:40
find out that it's just so I would like to
01:41 - 01:44
show the general colors of a sunset, which is the
01:44 - 01:48
light blue, purple two pink, as well as having the
01:49 - 01:52
lesser characters contrast with the main characters.
01:53 - 01:55
You can see here how the ash not contrast with
01:55 - 01:59
the background behind them, and I would like to indicate
02:00 - 02:01
the important characters of the scene, which would be Mama
02:02 - 02:06
and Commander, as well as showing how they're living their
02:06 - 02:06
own world.
02:07 - 02:09
Well, there's chaos buying them.
02:10 - 02:11
Act one, scene five.
02:14 - 02:16
It's morning, and here's when we find out that Sophie
02:17 - 02:20
has been stealing from Mama and course she gets angry
02:21 - 02:24
with her, but again, she feels respect issues one of
02:24 - 02:26
the first girls to ever try to steal from her.
02:27 - 02:29
So I feel as though having a warm light would
02:30 - 02:32
not only indicate the time of day, but also kind
02:33 - 02:35
of represent home almost feeling as even though she's angry
02:35 - 02:38
with Sophie, she still feels kind of warm towards her
02:39 - 02:40
act. One Scene six.
02:42 - 02:46
In the scene, Christian comes in being shocked and feeling
02:47 - 02:50
disbelief towards the actions of war and what he's seen
02:50 - 02:51
on his on the road.
02:52 - 02:55
And we also meet Fortune and Simon as the answer,
02:55 - 02:56
looking for Salima.
02:57 - 02:59
So I feel as though having a very dry and
03:00 - 03:02
natural looking setting would work well.
03:04 - 03:06
It feels all the lighting should represent how mom was
03:06 - 03:09
feeling as she lies to fortune, saying that she doesn't
03:09 - 03:12
live here, so I want the lighting to be as
03:14 - 03:16
almost as ambiguous as possible.
03:17 - 03:19
Next up is Act two, Scene one.
03:21 - 03:23
This one is a real short scene, but it's raining
03:23 - 03:27
as Moloch and Sophie, or singing and fortune is outfront
03:28 - 03:30
taking guard until he gets a Lima.
03:30 - 03:34
So I wanted Teoh contrast between the inside five and
03:34 - 03:35
the outside vibe.
03:35 - 03:36
So of course it's raining, so it's gonna be kind
03:37 - 03:38
of dark where fortune is.
03:38 - 03:41
But I also wanted to contrast it with the light
03:42 - 03:44
grey that's coming out of the bar.
03:46 - 03:47
Act two, Scene two.
03:49 - 03:53
In the scene we find out of Selena's past and
03:53 - 03:55
why she ran away and will not speak to Fortune
03:56 - 03:57
for the scene.
03:57 - 03:59
It's very serious and very depressing, in my opinion.
04:01 - 04:04
And for that I would like to have a more
04:04 - 04:07
somber lighting like he can see here with the cool
04:08 - 04:11
colors released, shining through and having an emphasis on Salima
04:13 - 04:15
like this painting, I would like for her to have
04:16 - 04:18
a sort of warm color pointing at her, but at
04:19 - 04:21
the same time, she is reflected something much darker and
04:21 - 04:25
colder to show that although she's shows this kind of
04:25 - 04:29
front, she's still holding onto this guilt as she feels
04:29 - 04:31
that it was all her fault for a big Raped
04:32 - 04:33
a Que Scene three.
04:35 - 04:36
It's raining and nighttime.
04:36 - 04:39
So this is one Simon trustee, a fortune to go
04:39 - 04:42
back to the base and try to forget Salima.
04:44 - 04:47
So for this, I picture a kind of warm light.
04:47 - 04:50
A Simon only means well, but also it's nighttime and
04:52 - 04:58
fortune is feeling this disregard and depression, as I would
04:58 - 05:00
like to the light to show that nutrients we were
05:01 - 05:03
feeling when we first madame to be met with this
05:03 - 05:09
kind of darkness, back to scene for in the scene.
05:09 - 05:12
We meet the rebel leader as well as the leader
05:12 - 05:13
of the government's army.
05:14 - 05:17
So I want the lighting here to be much more
05:17 - 05:21
uneasy and a little disheveled as it kind of catches
05:21 - 05:23
Mama off guard as she tries to play both sides
05:24 - 05:26
of this war just to make sure that her business
05:26 - 05:33
doesn't struggle to seen five We are currently outside, as
05:33 - 05:36
this is when Fortune tells the key mender that the
05:36 - 05:40
rebel leader has visited Mama's bar right before he came
05:40 - 05:43
over. So for this I would like the same neutral
05:43 - 05:45
kind of lighting is I feel like it should tie
05:46 - 05:47
with Fortune is we really don't know what his motives
05:48 - 05:52
are, but have it to have more shades as we
05:52 - 05:55
see him going under Mama's nose and snitching on her.
05:55 - 05:58
Essentially, as you can see here, how I would like
05:58 - 06:01
the commanders to be Braley lip as you see these
06:01 - 06:06
three women on the right and then have fortune shaded
06:07 - 06:11
as you see the Children on the left, back to
06:11 - 06:11
Scene six.
06:14 - 06:17
Here. It's morning, and this is when Mama gives the
06:18 - 06:22
diamond collector the diamond to pay for Sophie's reconstructive surgery.
06:24 - 06:26
For this I would let the natural like to come
06:26 - 06:29
in as to show some kind of hopefulness, impurity.
06:30 - 06:33
And then, of course, when that all goes to the
06:33 - 06:38
wall, I would like the when the attack comes in.
06:38 - 06:41
The white flash that comes by is represented by this
06:41 - 06:45
painting here on the bottom, right, and I would like
06:45 - 06:46
for it to be kind of like a strobe effect
06:46 - 06:48
where the black and white kind of bounce off of
06:49 - 06:49
each other.
06:49 - 06:52
And then it reverses back toothy painting on the left,
06:53 - 06:55
where it's the morning and the light is shining through
06:56 - 07:00
to seen seven, I feel is all the lighting should
07:00 - 07:01
match the first scene.
07:02 - 07:06
As here we find out Mama is ruined as well.
07:06 - 07:08
And I would like just for it to show this
07:08 - 07:11
innocents that she's feeling as she's putting her guard down
07:11 - 07:14
for the first time and to have this feeling that
07:14 - 07:16
she's been spared from the scene before.
07:17 - 07:20
For the lighting, I would like for not to just
07:20 - 07:22
show the time of day.
07:23 - 07:25
I would also like it to somewhat represent the characters
07:25 - 07:28
as well, Like I said, how the warm light would
07:28 - 07:32
correlate with Mama and the cold light with Sylvie Mo
07:33 - 07:33
when she tells her story
