For this production of Daughters of Heaven the director, as part of her concept, wanted a motif of surrealism, highlighting the principal girls as representing a reality of belief against an oppressive background of physical setting and social climate. She wanted two key settings, one interior and one exterior. The student s researches the qualities of NZ bush and describes its foliage being dense and natural lighting being sharp angles of filtered light and there is little range within the dark green tones. The student s lighting design describes how a gobo with a forest pattern will be used to represent the trees and shutters on other rigged lights are moved to manipulate the light to shaft in a straight line. For this production of Daughters of Heaven the director, as part of her concept, wanted a motif of surrealism, highlighting the principal girls as representing a reality of belief against an oppressive background of physical setting and social climate. She wanted two key settings, one interior and one exterior. The student s lighting design is justified and links with his research to suggest that a strong contrast could be made between the exterior and interior worlds of the play, i.e. looking at the plotting versus the carrying-out of the murder. To do this he plans to use a contrast of directional key lighting and a contrast in the gel saturation of fill light. In the interiors the key lights could be on a sharp angle, almost vertical, creating pools of suggested conspiracy. The lighting plan also includes details of exterior angles being oblique, casting side shadows so that only part of the story was revealed at any one time. The interior fill could be a deep salmon, and the exterior 70% forest and 30% lime green to give the effect of an almost even green tone. New Zealand Qualifications Authority 2013 3

to the performance requirements, safe working practice and the documented design concept for the work. position lights to ensure both the space and actors faces are adequately lit while the design is realised. The student operated the lighting equipment with control in terms of colour, lighting intensity, and timing for the performance. position the lights creatively to optimally light actors and space as well as to realise desired effects, shadows and mood. The student operated the lighting equipment with sustained control of colour, lighting intensity, and timing for the performance. New Zealand Qualifications Authority 2013 5
