  2. I think the most important things in this video is visibility,the lighting level or mood, and special effect. I think visibility is important because you need to be able to have the audience in the very back see the play clearly, not be unclear. Mood is important because if it is night, you can't have very bright lights. Lastly, effects are important because it could make an inside look like there is a thunderstorm.

  3. In my opinion, the three most important things mentioned in this video are visibility, mood, and the composition. Visibility is one of the functions of stage lighting and also very important because it creates a light design that allows audience to find the important elements or symbols in a play production. If the visibility too low, the audience will lose interested of the play. Mood is definitely important because it lets the lighting design to set a proper mood of the scenes for the audience. The lighting designers adjust the lights with intensity and different colors to match the mood. And last but not least, Focus, it creates light designs that focus the audiences attention on the appropriate elements. When a main character goes on stage of a play production, the light will focus on him and the intensity will be lowered for the others.

  5. I think that the three most important functions of stage lighting are visibility, mood, and focus. Visibility is important because if the lighting is too dark or too bright, it will be difficult to see the actors, and the audience will lose interest. Mood is important because without it, it would be much harder to understand the feel of the play. The mood is changed by increasing or decreasing the intensity and the shade of the color and light on the stage. Focus is important because it directs the eye of the audience to a particular spot on the stage. This is necessary when you want the audience members to notice a particular thing or when you want one actor or object to really stand out from the rest.

  6. I think that the most important aspects of lighting are visibility, mood, and special effects. They are all very important because they are all diffrent in what they help do. Like composition is in a way very simial to visibility. Visibility is important because simply put, it makes the show visible without the houselights being on. Mood is important because it causes the audience to feel the emotions that are going on in the production at that time. If there are low gloomy lights, it is probably a sad seen or a down-beat play. And special affects are important because it makes the audience feel like they are there, and it draws the audience in as if they forget that they are watching and not being a part of the production.

  7. In my opinion the most important features, and or aspects of lighting are comprised of the visability throughout the show.Visability is ecenshal when puting on a perduction because in plain words it makes the show visable.The mood they set witch also determins were the perticlur secen takes place.The special effects make the production that much more thrilling, and stimulating to the audences eyes.

  8. I think that the three most important things are visibility, mood, and special effects. Visibility is important because it helps the audience visualize and recognize the important parts of the play. It also keeps their interest. The mood is important because it sets the tone for the whole play. The lights are bright if it is a happy play, and probably a darker, more depressing color if that matches the mood of the play. Special effects are important as well because it helps set the scene and helps the audience understand what is going on in this scene.

  9. I think that the three most important things mentioned in this video are visibility, mood, and special effects. Visibility is creating a light design that will allow the audience to see the important elements of the play. Mood is creating a lighting design that will set the proper mood of the scenes. Special effects are creating a lighting design that will create the proper special effects required by a play production. These are key aspects to put on a successful show.
