LIGHTING SYSTEMS:

Lighting more than applying lighting templates to a play.
-HOWEVER-
Often useful to start with stock approaches that work.

Specific and General Lighting:
- Specific: applied to an area for emphasis or effect,
    to pick out a person or create an illusion.
- General: applied to a larger area or set of areas
    to provide suitable level of illumination
    less emphasis on effect.

Motivating vs. Motivated lighting:
- Motivating lighting: apparent sources of light in scene
- Motivated light: illumination created by motivating light
- Non-motivated light: applied without consideration of apparent sources. 	for psychological rather than realistic reasons.

Systems:
Earliest approach, light from all directions:
From strip lights or "floats", inc. foots.

BROADWAY SYSTEM:
straight front and high side

- Front light from Balcony Fronts.
- Side light from proscenium boxes or Box Booms.
- Top light supplied with toning strips from overhead,
   later to become top or back light from spots.

Features:
- Required at least three lights per area, plus top or back.
- Usually colored as one color from front
    and a second often used in both sides at once.
- Good visibility and good plasticity
    BUT somewhat unnatural in appearance.
- Can be very striking and "theatrical".
Still the heart of American professional theatrical lighting, as it works well in almost any proscenium theatre.

McCANDLES SYSTEM:
Developed by Stanley McCandless at Yale Univ.

- 45 / 45 front angles, with warm/cool colors
   to establish direction of "key".
- Reduces fixtures to 2 per area plus top or back lighting.
   Lighting inventory could go farther
   More inherantly natural looking than Broadway
   Extra fixtures can be used for specials and other effects.
For more extreme effects, angles can be adjusted to more extreme positions, say 60 degree sides.

KEY AN FILL:
Developed by cimena from general stage lighting, borrowed back for stage.

KEY AN FILL:
- Key light: dominant illumination of character,
   the source casting the strongest shadow.
- Fill light; represents light reflected from surroundings,
   fills in shadows created by key light.
- Back light;  light from behind character,
   separates from background.

Features:
- Key light can come from any direction.
- Fill established according to key.
- Especially useful on cinema and video
   tight shots can be created with camera work.
- Useful for special scenes on stage, although effect diffused when applied as general light.

TV/FILM LIGHTING:

Extended form of Key and Fill, key and fill for several camera superimposed on each other in the same studio.

DANCE LIGHTING

Modification of Broadway system emphasizing the side light predominantly.

THRUST AND ARENA SCHEMES:

PROFILE (bi-pole) LIGHTING: Two dominant sources with fill as necessary from sides.
   Useful in extreme thrust or profile situations

THREE POLE LIGHTING. Gives effects similar to 60 degree McCandless.

FOUR POLE LIGHTING: either square or diagonal.
May apprear as Broadway or McCandless depending on seat of viewer.

Warnings:
Watch color choices.
Every pole is the "key" for someone.
Different people see a different show.
Colors usually matched as opposites
