Lighting

For one production meeting we went to the Seward Studio and had an induction for the lighting desk, and also a chance to decide and programme what lighting we wanted.

We learnt how to position the lights to where we wanted, as well as how to change the lights from spot to flood lighting. We mostly used flood lighting so as to colour the entire cyclorama.

We also decided which colours we wanted for each era:

• 50s - red - as this references the lipstick worn in the era
• 70s - purple - as this is associated with disco, and our reference for the props , Saturday Night Fever
• 80s - yellow - as this is associated with school, which is where our reference, The Breakfast Club, is set
• 90s - green - this is referencing F.R.I.E.N.D.S, and the Central Perk logo, along with the props
• modern - blue - this is associated with technology, which is a large part of modern society
