If the lighting engineer of stage lighting equipment wants to design a stage lighting effect that meets the theme in a certain stage space, he needs to choose and arrange the stage lights. Below we will introduce you to the relevant knowledge of the selection and arrangement of stage lighting in stage lighting design.
The selection of lamps, the arrangement of lamps and the angle of incidence seem to be purely technical elements of stage lighting, but as some characteristics of "characters", they convey rich information. When designers want to experience the envisioned effect of stage space, they must consider the lamps, emission positions and projection angles. The first choice of lamp directly affects the quality of light, such as spot size, beam shape, intensity, color temperature, texture, etc. Different lamps and lanterns vary greatly in quality and function. When the stage space form of the theatrical scene creates the embodiment stage, the first thing to consider is the choice of lamps.
The arrangement of lamps on the frame stage does not seem to be so important. However, with the development of the concept of drama, the theater stage began to diversify and be liberalized, such as the catwalk, the center stage, and even the completely free combination of space. This makes the arrangement of stage lamps and installations an important part that cannot be ignored. For example, the arrangement of lamps in small theaters is based on the expression of certain theatrical concepts, and the arrangement of exposed lights on the stage in song and dance evenings seems to have become a historical inheritance.
The choice of projection angle can enhance the three-dimensional sense of the scene, and can also make the scene tend to be flat; It can highlight the texture of the surface of the object (such as side light), and can also produce grotesque light and shadow images (such as foot light). There are even light rays with obvious projection directions that can indicate the direction with shadows, suggesting specific movement trends to the audience and reinforcing the composition of forces in the stage space. Therefore, fully calling the angle of the projected light can better reproduce the dramatic situation and help the prompt of the prescribed situational action.
