Meeting with George- Lighting guy

Meeting with George

George Smith

Lighting Director

Today we had a meeting with the lighting guy to discuss our idea...

• The first thing we told him was that we have different lengths of light bulbs hanging from the ceiling, his concern was that it was going to create lots of shadows so we will need to include other practical lights to add to the atmosphere.

• We have also decided we are going to pulsing lights for the first 7 seconds of the video during the opening synths, as a build up of introduction. With this in mind George gave us the advice to not show the audience the band during this 7 seconds
• We were thinking of adding a window at the back of the room to show that it is night time, and also to add to this idea we're in a room of a house. We need to finish our set design to make sure that we are giving the right image across of this room during the dance/ narrative element. The importance of the window will determine the time of day (night) and what sort of lighting is used at this time (house lights, practical lights) 

I was looking at possible images for a window if we do decide this is a good idea.

We have also decided, that the 'Wasted Words' written on the walls by the dancers, will finally zoom out by the end of the piece, to reveal a giant lion's head, relating to the band's star image, shown below:
