Stage lighting skills 1, spotlight
So-called? Chase? It means chasing the bride. When the lights dim, the spotlight is aimed at the bride. In order to highlight the bride, a bright area is formed within 2-3 meters around the bride. It should be noted that if only one is used, the so-called? Yin and Yang face? That is, while the face is bright, the face is dark, which greatly affects the visual effect. If you can, you must use two sets, so that just like the shadowless lamp on the operating table, the light on both sides is symmetrical and will not appear? Yin and Yang face? Yes In addition, it is best to hang a spot spotlight, just like human vision, standing very high and far away without shelter, which can give full play to the effect.
Step 2: Return light
Also known as movie lights. Similar to PA lamp, it is mainly used as auxiliary light for face. The difference is that it can change color. Sometimes, in order to save the cost of the wedding, retro lights can be used instead of PA lights and dyed lights. Many weddings have similar practices.
Step 3 shake your head
The function of shaking the head lamp is to shake in the air, make various patterns on the walls and ceilings, and create a dynamic effect on the stage. You can use computer programming to set different shaking modes. Different shaking modes can set off different atmospheres such as cheerfulness and romance. One thing to pay attention to is to hang it up and not cover it. Second, it is best to match the dyeing lamp. The so-called dyeing lamp can produce different colors and render the overall color. It is suggested to use a single color, otherwise there will be too many colors and too many variegated colors, which will not only produce colorful effects, but also appear very messy and the effect will be very unsuccessful. If you want some color effects, you can partially blend in a small area of other colors, preferably close colors, such as adding a small amount of purple to red.
4. Public address lamp
PA lamp is soft and unchangeable, and is often used as a stage background light. No matter when the lights are turned on in the normal hall or when spotlights are used in the dark, the light of PA lamps can make the overall brightness contrast of the stage softer and will not give people a very abrupt feeling. Can be used with dyeing lamps, and different colors can create different atmospheres.
The use of stage lighting is the most direct part of our appreciation of stage art, and it is also the most powerful medium for us to accept art infection; It is also an important artistic means to shape characters' personalities, plot changes and conflicts. In a word, stage lighting is an indispensable part of stage variety, and its position and role in stage art creation can not be ignored.

Proper treatment of stage lighting is a sign of successful design of theater lighting. Stage lighting should not only illuminate the actors, let the audience see the facial expressions, demeanor and movements clearly, but more importantly, make full use of lighting technology, mobilize lighting operations and other means to enhance the artistic effect and let the audience feel immersive.
1 Lighting can create space on the stage.
Maybe people will say that space already exists, but on the stage, without the gathering and projection of lights on the stage, the audience can't see the space. Moreover, light is like a baton to the eyes of the audience. Wherever the light is projected, the audience's eyes will see it. The size of the space on the stage is controlled by the lights. Because the illumination of the light on the stage is made up of building blocks, it can be expanded at will or reduced as much as possible, as small as a person's face and as large as the audience can see every corner of the stage. In addition, lighting can also create independent and unrelated spaces on the stage. Most importantly, the light can change in an instant.
Lighting can create the environment.
On the stage, due to the needs of the story, there will be various environments seen and imagined in the world. Scenery can shape the environment on the stage. It can use houses, mountains, forests, rivers and so on to draw and create the environment, but lighting can give it life and vitality and create a sense of reality for the audience. The same environment, because of the different plots, can show a variety of simulation environment in front of the audience, which is also one of the biggest functions of lighting. Lighting can illuminate a group of scenery from different angles with different brightness and colors, so that its scenery can be expressed in a specific environment, such as day, night, night, sunshine, cloudy day, rainy day, lightning, light, fire, tree shadows and so on. As long as people can see it in the real environment, lights can be made on the stage. For another example, lighting can create a special feeling atmosphere for the plot in the same environment. For example, hilarious scenes, solemn scenes, affectionate scenes, exciting and nervous scenes and so on. Lighting can also create a variety of regional environmental atmosphere, such as: mountainous areas with peasant flavor, noisy metropolis, quiet farmhouses, high-rise luxury houses in cities and so on.
3. Create a character image
On the stage, the characters in the play can be shaped in different environments and different plots through lighting, so that the appearance of this image can be integrated into a specific environment, a specific situation and a specific character, thrown into the audience's field of vision and embedded in the audience's feelings, such as a pair of affectionate lovers, an innocent girl, a resolute soldier and a gorgeous makeup. These images of thousands of people, in addition to packaging an actor through clothing, of course, through the emergence of lighting, can be more vividly displayed in the eyes of the audience
4 reveal the psychological changes of the characters
On the stage, the actors' performances are presented according to the script. The characteristic images of the characters in the play are expressed by the actors' words, expressions and actions. Lighting can help the actors to perform according to the psychological changes of specific characters in the script, and the psychological changes of the characters in the play can be displayed on the appearance of the actors through the unique means of lighting, thus helping the actors to express the emotional and psychological changes of the characters in the play more thoroughly and intuitively. Such as joy, pain, melancholy, sadness, anger, timidity, madness, fierceness, kindness and so on.
The above is only an explanation of the main functions of stage lighting. It can be seen that the role of lights on the stage is very much. So, how does lighting create these functions? It is a lamp that flexibly uses various characteristics. It refers to the position and quantity of lighting devices, various angles of lighting, various colors of lighting, various brightness levels of lighting and their changes set by lighting designers, that is, changes in the position of lighting devices, changes in lighting angles, changes in lighting colors, changes in lighting brightness, and all these interrelations and applications, as well as various functions provided by lighting control equipment. More importantly, the creative imagination of lighting designers and the flexible use of lighting equipment. It is often said that the lights begin to speak in the stage performance. This is not accurate. It should be the lighting that helps the scene unfold, helps the characters in the play speak, and helps the script tell fascinating stories to the audience.
Light is the soul on the stage. In fact, lighting plays a wonderful role in making the finishing point and icing on the cake, giving the stage vitality.
