Entertainment Lighting
DESC9161
Entertainment applications of light often have very different requirements, goals, and challenges than architectural lighting design. This unit covers the unique terminology, hardware, and techniques associated with entertainment lighting. Students learn the design processes associated with lighting for stage-based performances, events, and television/motion picture filming. Led by an experienced lighting designer, the technical and artistic methods employed in these applications are discussed. When lighting for film or digital recording, the camera and display both serve as intermediaries between the light and viewers' visual systems, which must be taken into account during the design. Other topics include the development of lighting plans for entertainment purposes, career options and working conditions, and effective use of coloured light. This unit integrates lectures with studio activities.
