Lighting a scene or stage is an important job when you think about the final impression of any stage show. Different colored lights can work differently in terms of impression, with the same costumes and make up.
As a performer there are a few things to think about to give the best impression for your audience:
- colored lights can give different impression of your costume – talk to the director and lighting expert of the show beforehand
- try your costume and fabrics with the show lighting to test their impression and colors appearing
- communicate your request concerning lighting with the director or the designer of the scenery – to highlight or cover some parts of your performance
- think about the props of your performance (stick, hat, jewelery etc.) and ask for a rehearsal with the final lights – audience in even the last row must see clearly
- sidelights can sculpture the costume – think about it details what you want to show and how the fabrics of your costume would work
- makeup – even the most natural look – has its on color – so include your makeup in the lights rehearsal
- rhinestones support the most impactful visual effect – test your final, decorated costume in scene lights
- media and the cameras can modify the actual scene – consult the relevant expert how to show you
