designers to establish an overall visual concept for the production and design the stage environment (and props).
develop a set of design drawings/renderings, creating scale models of the scenery, paint elevations and scale construction drawings as part of their communication with other production staff.

Theatre Lighting Designer(or LD) works with the director, choreographer, set designer, costume
designer, and sound designer to create the lighting, atmosphere, and time of day for the production in response to the text, while keeping in mind issues of visibility, safety, and cost.
![Page 17: Design & Technical Production](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56815f50550346895dce2f14/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
VISIBILITY Making the performer visible is the most
important aspect of lighting The lights’ position, intensity and colour
all require very careful consideration.
![Page 18: Design & Technical Production](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56815f50550346895dce2f14/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
SETTING Time of day and other lighting conditions
such as a lightning storm, a warmly lit fireplace etc. are recreated on stage, making for a believable and more importantly, an understandable situation.

MOOD & ATMOSPHERE Audiences normally connect certain lighting
states with certain moods. Happy party atmosphere = bright, colourful light; soft glow from a Fireplace = romance; and so on.

COMPOSITION The act of painting a picture, in this case,
with light.

SELECTIVE FOCUS Just as it is possible/necessary to make a
performer visible, it is possible to make others appear less visible, and emphasize just one person. This ability to use selective visibility is very useful for getting the audience’s attention and focus where you want it.

Traditional Lighting Method
Goal: general and even illumination of the principle acting areas of the stage.
Division of acting areas into lighting areas.

Traditional Lighting Method Five light
sources per lighting area.
Overlapping of beams to compensate for instrument characteristics.
Blending of complimentary colors to achieve white light.

Costume Designer Costume designers create
the look of each character by designing clothes and accessories the actors will wear in performance.
Depending on their style and complexity, costumes may be made, bought, revamped out of existing stock or rented. Their designs need to faithfully reflect the personalities of the characters in the script.

COSTUMES SHOULD BE CAREFULLY PLANNED…
Study the period of when the story takes place
Research in costume books
Look in encyclopedias Research Old
magazines (people or national geographic)
Look at Paintings
