13th November

Today we looked at the lighting we could use for some of our scenes. We went through one dance piece using the possible lighting and it worked quite well. It was good to be able to see the posibilities and see what our options are so we have an idea a couple of months prior to the actual performance. I think that when rehearsing lighting a more physical scene the main difference is that you really get a sense of the tone and it adds another layer to it and you get a sense of the movement. We were aiming for an almost surreal sense to it when doing the lighting adding in greens and reds.  I suggested that we use a blue gel for a spotlight during the coffee scene when Lauren appears advertising the new winner for Paradise. We are not sure how she will appear yet but it will be as a hologram to let people know that this is set in the future. I don't think this will have a massive effect on the characters in the scene because it is quite a regular thing for them to experience.
