Lecture by Mike Day

Lights:
- Scenic lighting -> control to produce effect
                           -> accent light on something
                           -> decorative
All these three can be combined.

                           -> Kinetic : Sun, Water, Reflection, Candles, Fire, Flashing neons.


Types of Lights:

- Sparkling light
- Dappled light - filtered
These two can be combined.

- Glowing light - translucent of reflected
- Hidden light - defining space, ambient, scenic
                       - edges
-Wall washing
-Uplight / Covelight
-Day lighting


Localised light -> large area
Local light -> particular small area
Directional lighting -> a task or a surface
Diffused lighting -> come from many directions


Quality of lights depends on:
- Luminous distribution
- Direction of Light
- Visual interest
- Colours
- Visual performance : age, health, attitude
- Colour mixing (on the actor)
