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.
