Lighting and Projection camera experiments.

The afternoon of the visit to Farnham was spent experimenting with the students, their current concepts and forms of lighting. Above can be seen two students with blank t-shirts on working with projection, an idea that the 'Antigone' group have in mind. By setting up a camera, we are also able to see what this would look like on screen or filmed or to a larger audience.

The lights had different gels over them so experimentation with coloured mood lighting could also take place, something that the 'Icarus' group decided to work with (demonstrative pictures to follow).

Overall the use of lighting and projection could potentially save us having to make multiple sets that would be outside of the budget and difficult to later transport, but mainly could look more effective than large pieces of set. Lighting is also a more efficient choice of changing environment and mood than pushing set on and off, so it would be good to see if this method could be applied as it seems beneficial in terms of budget, time and potential aesthetic of the performances too.
