LIGHTING PLOT
L
ight the show This fantasy and rock concert musical uses 31 lighting equipments in total. Fresnel lanterns are used as a front light to brighten the stage because of its blending oval shape. Par 64 lanterns with various color gel and Par LED are used for coloring the stage, the white scene and actor clothes. Par 64 lanterns have the great color shade for lighting design same as Par LED lanterns but the later one have more various effects for creating many spectacular scenes. Angle for hanging lighting equipment is important also. Back and Top light angle create many different atmospere and scenes. Like No. 20, a side and back light angle Par 64 with pale gold color makes actor outstanding from the scene and gives a powerful aura to the actor. For side light angle, I use it for creating rhythms and some suspicious scenes by choosing some lanterns.
Creating several rhythms and scenes for the performance, I use Par 64 lanterns with different color gels on each side and Par LED hanging in a different bar to create a depth and a layer in different color shade.

CONCEPT Unlike other Nitade Chula musicals, Westonhood was much more drama and comedy still presenting in the realistic style. Located in rural village of the western country, the strong theme of Cowboy was obviously seen.
For the lighting design concept, Cowboy theme leaded to the natural atmosphere of sunlight, the heat and aridness. Moreover, the plot displayed the warmth and; in contrast, the coldness and lonely feeling representing
tone color would be mostly an earth tone except the fighting scene which added more strong color for creating the intenseness like orange or red. For the musical scene, adding little warm color was a good idea for making a happy and joyful moment.

“Cheer Ruam� is one of the events for every year CU - TU traditional football - a football match to build a relationship between two universities, Chulalongkorn University and Thammasart University. Cheer Ruam is a preparation for CU students to become a unity before a competition with TU students. This events will seperate in 3 parts: Katakorn - the parade leaders, Cheerleader team and each year CU cheering team president for leading the stand and all CU students.
This event presents the identity of each year CU cheering team president and the concept of the football match through concert and lots of performances on the stage.

Therefore, lighting design for 3 highlight performances would mainly use the contrast color. First, Katakorn performance normally use Pink color representing Chulalonkorn University for the show. This time I would add 20 percent of Red and Yellow color representing Thammasart University. The performance would present magnificent and outstanding parade leaders. ; Second, CU Chearleader team adapted the same concept as Katakorn performance; though, it presented the unity, vigorousness, and also magnificence.
coldness. So, for the lighting design, I chose warm color as a main color for the hotness and mix the cool color (blue and green) also. For the coldness, I desinged it in the opposite way - cool color as a main color and less warm color. Besides, the important lighting design for this performance were the surprising and amusing rhythmic patterns which I chose Moving head to design those patterns and Par LED for supporting them.

The duties for lighting crew are hanging lighting equipment on the attic of the auditorium, lining wires for systeming setting, programming a control board for saving scenes, controlling the board for the performance ,and etc. These experiences made me fascinated in lighting design bit by bit. Not only the knowledge that I obtain, but also an organising and cooperating skill with others. This position made me contact my friends for practising the musical cues and solving the problems together which suddenly occur during the performance. Moreover, the seniors also taught us about the principal of stage lighting design.
