It's kind of ironic how this week we just begun presenting our Halloween projects and the perfect photo I have for this week's blog closely relates to why I was inspired to replicate the American supernatural horror film that "It" was. It's a full circle moment.
Anyways, I took this photo Wednesday night at the Science Library as I was heading to a study room with a few friends. I turned my head and I was captivated by the spooky and haunting vibe the aisle gave as most of the automatic lights weren't on as we were passing by. In addition to the single downlight illuminating the stool at the end of the aisle, the one point perspective of this moment makes one anticipate something or someone lurking near the end of the aisle. I really love how there is so much shadow surrounding the book aisles but as you look into the center, that is the only area you are able to distinguish; almost like it's calling you to the end of the aisle.
This photo is such a great reference and inspiration for our Halloween project that I kind of wish I used for my project if I was trying to recreate the library scene in "It" where Ben encounters the beheaded child coming down the stairs into the library. The one point perspective does it so much justice that I would love to see that portrayed on stage.
Great observations. I think if we were to duplicate it in theatre, the downlight would be a leko to create harsher shadows than a fluorescent can. Interpretation is often times better than reality as we can craft it more :). Nice post
