Working on The Electra Project was a great experience as it helped me a lot, with Lighting Design I was able to understand the terminology and the type of lightning tools they used in a theater production. I stumbled across the light plot of the productions I was shocked at the many lekos and S-4 used in the play. Martha did an amazing job on creating the world of Electra. I enjoyed the use of green and blue to make it feel like a mystic and supernatural feel the world. I loved how when the pendulum swings the light slightly changes the environment. The use of side lights gave the actors more depth in the scene and the use of farm doors to shape the "V" light for Cait's death was epic. The yellow in Kevin's death gave the setting an afraid and shocking twist to the light than using the green. Overall mixed with the sound the play came to life and showed how a old story can be re-told in a new modern twist.
Very nice detailed analysis of her lighting and your opinions on it
