Mood Lighting


The lighting in this picture is a classic example of how color can be used to set a mood. Red and Green are associated with Christmas, so the holiday spirit is quickly conveyed. The vibrancy of the lights also adds to the magical feeling, with the intense colors bringing feelings of excitements.

I really enjoy the way this design conveys so much with so little. The stark white coloring already sets a mood of isolation, sterility. At this angle the light catches the matter in the air, creating an eerie sense of reflection, as if possibly signifying a memory.

  1. In the first image, I agree that the red and green give a Christmas feeling, but I also think those colors work to give the audience energy. They are really bright colors which I think contrasts well with the sky. In the second image, I think the white light shining on the woman gives a spooky feeling which makes her seem like a ghost. It is interesting how her silhouette is visible, yet she is not visible herself.

  2. The lighting in the top photo gives off a very whimsical mood. I agree that it does create a happy spirit in time for the holidays. In the second photo, I like how we can see the spotlight coming from the upper right, and how we can't see the details of the actor's face or body. It makes it seem as if she has some sort of power or godly being almost.

  3. The second image is coming from behind, not lighting her face at all, so I see the feeling of isolation. I also see the powerful feeling as she looks down at those inferior. The fog might even add to this second mood.

  4. The first picture is a great example of lighting creating a mood. The mood is fun and also crazy which probably best describes Disneyland as a whole. The green and blue are bright happy colors while the red is the color your face gets from standing in the heat for hours on end waiting to ride your second (and last) ride of the day.
