Week 2 Assignment
Last night while working at Disneyland's world famous Jungle Cruise I requested to use a spotlight on my boat. This spotlight seems to be a PAR, it looks similar to a headlight. Much like light used in theater the use of the spotlight allowed me to direct exactly where I wanted my guests to look. I was able to divert their eyes to places they never would have thought to look otherwise, thisis something I never would have been able to do without the spotlight. The jungle Cruise at night without the spotlight is reminiscent of what theater was before the advent of theatrical lighting- people looking anywhere they wish while carrying on side conversations. The spotlight enables me to legitimize my spiel through the Jungle as a performance rather than merely a scenic night time boat ride.

nice tie to selective visibility - it would be interesting to light the same show in two ways - one night to center on 1 character and another night on another and then ask people about their experiences - nice way to tell stories with light
