First Blush Ideas First ideas would be to have extension cords long enough to front light the characters. Red is a color of color due to the slashers theme. Possible problems: drop cords could be dangerous at actors’ feet. The projection screen might have too much light on it to properly see movie trailers for horror movies. Cars could create shadows. Fog might not reach the distance.

Second Rendering
After a night time design meeting, I realized that the set up would be scaled back due to street lights giving light for most acting. Colors and fog would only be used for effect and mostly for character entrance. Electricity would need to come from the shed and cords would need to be dressed for safety.

Reflections Isaiah: This semester of Fall Play Production was very fun to do and it was an exciting adventure for both me and Lillie. We had to advance work more and more as the days went by and the show fast approaching and I had to get a closer look at our playground to set up important lights that highlighted the actors and their costumes. The orange streetlight was a big concern during our planning and we took advantage of it and used it as our creepy atmosphere along with the red lights that we added. The white lights on the school was a problem also but it was easily fixed by clipping a black cover on it to have a eerie look to the decorations. Overall this Halloween Show was a amazing experience to do and it will definitely be something to remember. Lillie: This Halloween show was definitely a new experience for me; not just for the playground, but also for working with lights. I’ve never experimented with lighting a show so it was enLIGHTening for me to play with a new aspect of theatre. The light in the parking lot ended up being taken care of for us since there was a streetlight to provide enough light to see clearly. I think for having never done a show such as this one Isaiah and I did well with setting up and brainstorming what we were going to do. Overall, I believe that this show is going to be a fond memory for all of us. Flipgrid: https://flipgrid.com/1d36593d
