Week 8: The power of Color

I have been stressing myself out the past couple of days trying to find interesting lighting to talk about for this blog. Of course, I finally find something to talk about when I wasn't looking for it and it was right under my nose. Last night, while lying in my bed trying to fall asleep, I noticed, as my eyes adjusted to the dark, how the light from the little display screen on my stereo, in stand-by mode, was lighting my room. I realized that the colors and angles of the light were very similar to my second cue that I made in class that day for the Our Town Project. The blue color from the screen was pretty close the color I used for the moonlight in my cue in class. While I was already having a hard time trying to fall asleep that night, I started to picture and pretend that the display screens source of light was the actual moonlight coming through my window, even though my blinds were shut, and slowly but surely I finally started to become more, relax, calm and tired. It is amazing how just the colors in lighting can create moods that have such big effects on people.
