stage lighting design is absolutely not to say that will open dimming Taiwan, or even the gaffer rendezvous switch. It includes a lot of learning, in which a good lighting engineer is not just a technician, but more importantly, he is an artist.
To become a stage lighting division, or start from the foundation of many aspects, first of all need to be able to master lighting equipment (equipment common sense), to learn the knowledge of the corresponding optical, color, color, spectrum, incidence, reflection, scattering, superposition, attenuation of many basic principle to grasp (optical sense). The characteristics of equipment, usage should be clear (common sense). At the same time, it is also important to understand the direct mental effects of color, which directly affect the professionalism of the lighting engineer in the stage.
The direct mental effect of color comes from the direct effect of physical light stimulation of color on human physiology. Psychologists have done many experiments on it. They found that in green environment, people will speed up the pulse, blood pressure increased, excited mood. The blue in the environment, have slowed, more serene mood. Some scientists have discovered that color can affect brain waves, the brain waves are alert to red, and the reaction to blue is to relax. Since the middle of the nineteenth Century, philosophy has shifted from philosophy to science, and psychologists have paid attention to the effect of color and mind verified by experiments. Many color theories have made a special introduction to it, and these experiences have definitely affirmed the influence of color on people's minds.
The temperature of color
Cool colors and warm colors are the physical classifications of colors according to the mental illusions, and the material impression of colors is produced roughly by the two colors of warm and cold. Long wavelength red and orange, yellow light, itself has a warm feeling, in light of any color will have a warm feeling. On the contrary, purple, blue and green light of short wavelength light, there is a cold feeling.
The color itself does not have the physical temperature of the mind, because the thought of human factors and Lenovo, when people see red, is bound to have contact with the fire, the sun, and the formation of psychological sense of warmth, when people see blue, it will produce Lenovo with water and ice, resulting in psychological response to cold. This reaction changes the color of people's mind, is the color of the cold and warm feeling. A color ring on the color in this cold and warm feelings to classification, can warm warm feeling and separation system bias bias cool system for cold feeling, but there is a subtle feeling to some of the range between cold and warm colors to distinguish colors, such as green, purple and other colors like a group of intermediate properties group, called the cold warm neutral color.
On the stage, in order to show a warm, festive atmosphere, in the stage area can be equipped with a red - orange and pink and warm, and in the sky, the side light with a bit of blue and green, such not only dilute the warm tone, but because of color and contrast effect between the warm tone, the more distinctive, color tone more artistic appeal.
Color sense of distance
People of color visual habits will have a sense of distance, different colors of objects at the same distance, but the visual feel is not the same, because the eyes are light color stimuli, wavelength longer on the retina and integrated rear focus light at shorter wavelengths is right in front of the retina in 20% the focus of the lens through self adjustment, the longer wavelength look closer, wavelength shorter than it looks. Thus produce the distance, marching, retreat feeling difference. So warm colors give people a feeling of moving forward, and cool colors give people a feeling of staying away from the past.
Color sense of distance, illusion is also affected by the background hue. For example, in the white background, the blue is very close, followed by purple, red, green and so on. When the sense of distance is different from the black background, the red appears to be orange, green, blue, and purple in turn. The color of the marching and retreating feeling and eyes light stimulation, light the size of a great relationship, large illuminance, stimulation of the eyes, it is bright, expansive, moving feeling; on the other hand, low illuminance, it is grey and fuzzy, contraction, retreat feeling.
Therefore, in the stage design, lighting division should pay attention to adjust the distance between lamps and people, with different environment, building different stage effects.
