Distribution1) Direction from which the light approaches the area, actor or object. Notice ow the light is coming from above SR, aimed towards the actor SL. 2) The shape and size of the area that the light is covering. The window gobo inside the Ellipsoidal in this picture. 3) The quality of the light - it's diffusion (soft or fuzzy beam) or clarity (sharpness). In this image, the light is diffused IntensityIntensity deals with the level of brightness - or how much light is hitting the stage. We talk about intensity with adjectives (Bright, dim, dark, etc.) or in percentages (a black-out is 0%, a light on to it's fullest brightness is 100%). Here's an example of a stage that is dimly lit, with higher intensity on the actress SR. MovementThe book divides Movement into three categories. "(1) the timed duration of the cues" or how long it takes for the cue to happen; "(the movement of onstage lights, such as a lantern or candle that an actress carries across the stage"; and "(3) the movement of an offstage light source such as a Followspot or moving light". ColorColor is the controllable quality that can easily change the mood or tone of what is happening on stage. This is how we are able to guide the audience into reacting a certain way.

You may want this for your final exam. IT MAY NOT HAVE ANY WRITING ON IT!!! (Mr. Parker's notes are acceptable!)
Here's the workbook we're going to use in class for the next couple of classes. You'll want to download this to your phones (you can save to iBooks if you have an apple device). It has a ton of links to videos and other items!
