Lighting, stage is arranged to light, which is composed of a lighting designer according to a script performing content, according to the plot and design with the performance of the theme and the content of lighting, stage lighting equipment and lighting by various elements arranged lamp position, so that the stage show scene to produce a light effect.

In emphasizing the stage lighting, the lighting effects and the first to have four functions: one is to satisfy the audience's visual requirements, brightness, color contrast; two is to complete the stage show the image of the shape, for the visual spatial structure, expression of object texture, stereo perception and the sense of spatial perspective and stage lighting; three is the use of the direction of the light intensity, hue, configuration, fit the show theme, content, help to convey the emotions of the characters and inner world, show the story; four is formed a kind of artistic conception, created a special artistic effect.

In the stage show art, no lights so no time and space, there is no vision and feeling. As the material support of lighting techniques and some skill very strong specific lighting method is important, but with the aesthetic value of the lighting design is the " art " has become the determinant. We pursue the lighting method is aesthetic the macro level lighting design method. From the macro level

Analysis, or from the aesthetic point of view, lighting method basically is divided into the following four.

One, multi-point lighting method

Is a classic arrangement method. It 's light, side light, backlighting on stage performer or scene lighting, consciously in the performer or scene in shadow, so that there is a change in brightness, enhanced three-dimensional effect and space effect, the light is the most important means of stage design.

In two, large flat lighting method

Refers to all the lights of misplaced priorities, uniform to performers and scene, so that the performers and the scene surface to form a uniform brightness, not prominent at the same time also does not conceal the performer and scene characteristics, make the audience take in everything in a glance. This arrangement method is basically a cloth light, then there is no need to move, and can effectively remove the shadow. Drawback is that light no layering, no light and shadow charm.

Three, the virtual setting method

Is the main use of special lighting to imitate nature a kind of weather or social life in a light, resulting in a natural simulation, the same effect, also known as the simulation setting method. Virtual lighting method is characterized by having only the main direction, the whole scene is only one main light. Of course, the only main light often consists of a plurality of lamps cause, rarely with a lamp. Regardless of main, auxiliary light, backlight, light effect

Modification of light, light, has its practical basis, which can find light source in the scene. What kind of environment, what kind of light; what kind of light, must have the light environment. Environment and light com., like the nature or reality of life in a scene like, real and natural.

In four, the decorative lighting method

Refers to the use of certain lighting equipment, in the background to produce abstract patterns, or in the scene to create continuous changing space "light " shape, and performers have no direct relationship, mainly plays the role of decoration, the atmosphere, using a machine or with a pattern plate in the spotlight, the yarn curtain, curtain or smoke in the projection pattern. The use of a wide variety of computer lights, laser lights, in the film or the air light projecting 2D or 3D modeling.

As a lighting designer, must take into account not only provide illumination, light, also want to create the atmosphere, manufacturing high tide. As an important means of stage performance space, the lights in the stage art is playing an increasingly important role in. From the original only for lighting needs, to now play a dynamic role effect, the light is gradually active participation. Light has a mental radiation effect, once it penetrates into the theatre

The feelings of the waves and performing as one solution, stage light can give the audience a feeling, an evocative, resulting in psychological resonance and associative thinking. Color change and show emotion, emotional combination. Artistic conception creation of stage light is light sublimation, exaggeration, and deepen the connotation of the art, from the outside to the visual, psychological, inner world and seek out the personal aspect, stage light expressive force. Artistic conception creation of stage light, thousands and thousands of words, converge, is love. The creation of artistic conception makes the stage characters, scenery, mood, atmosphere, sentiment words into the " new blood ", so that the audience in art appreciation in, add to the rich and colorful imagination and enjoy. At the same time, enrich the stage light expressive vocabulary, so that the stage more vivid, more rhythmic, consisting of stage space.
