Visibility
• Ability to see what is
happening on stage. Making
sure viewers can see the
characters, unless this is
the specific intent.• Indoor play, floodlights are
used in most of scenes.
• “Tone” setting and
costumes.
Visibility Cont
• Spotlights produce a
potentially tightly focused
light.
• Spot light used when Nora
talking to herself during the
scenes.
shapes and forms
• Shape onstage, particularly three-dimensional stage elements- from side, top, and behind.
• Small focus of light on the actor who’s talking.
• A little dim inside of the house, try to make a shadow of the sets .
Focus onstage
Visual Compositions
• During Act I, when everyone were out of the house except Nora. Nora was start talking to herself. I will use spot light, clearly showing the audiences that Nora was the only one who’s talking by that time.
• Act III, everyone attended on customs party. I will enlarge the lighting area, and make a bigger compositions.
Mood and style• Doll house is a play
with happiness family setting, with some dark moments.
• I will combine red and orange of light to present the Christmas atmosphere for the opening of Act I.
• Red color light when Nora mad and argue with her husband.
• Low intensity, low bright, dark colors when Nora describing when Raj offering the loan to her.
• In most scenes, the light will be naturally bright to provide the clear visibility.
• Modern Style
Time and Place• Conflict most happened
during afternoon and night,
example will be when Nora
go to Terry’s office during
the Christmas Eve, and the
costumes party.
• For afternoon I will combine
red and orange again,
showing the sunset.
• For night a little blue added
into the light for afternoon
to show the night time.
• I will use natural bright as the background color and add a little bit warm color to illustrate they are located indoor.
• 21 century, recent years
Rhythm of Visual Movement
• This is a slow action play, nothing move quick during the scenes.
• Overall, slow shift of light during the play, this will help the lighting goes smoother.
• Spot light will come up suddenly when I design for Nora talking to herself.
Central Image
• We designed for 3 sets change, but the living room will be the central set for our play
• Again, the light will be naturally bright and add a little bit warn color to provide the clear visibility and highlight the central image – Living Room.
