Stage art is a form of performance that is unfolded on the stage. The general stage mouth is 12m wide, 7m high frame type, and three walls. All kinds of dramas will be performed on the stage. At the same time, the stage lighting can only be in the 12m×7m frame-type, three-walled stage, and enter the art of lighting. The lighting is often restricted by the size of the stage. It is divided into several categories: face light, ear light, column light, reflective light, back light and top light.

First of all, the formation of a drama, it must be repeated rehearsal, in the process of rehearsal, lighting design must be involved, that is, we are talking about the preparatory stage, while watching the rehearsal, remember the actor's dispatch position, and then draw Out of the light map, where special lights are needed, and where the spot light needs to be processed, all of which must be determined in advance in the design. Next, the entry of the lights, the lighting of the system, the position of the lights on the stage and The lights are limited. Several scenes often occupy the space of the lights. Sometimes the position of a lamp is deadlocked with the device. After the lighting is installed, the lights are rehearsed and rehearsed. The stage drama is especially about the atmosphere. Modeling light, ambient light, all these lighting design must be considered, but also must be comprehensive, the lighting should change with the changes of the plot, but also with the rhythm of the plot, the real and rich atmosphere in the stage, It can express the character and convey the atmosphere of life. At the same time, the atmosphere of the environment echoes the audience's psychology and expresses the character, occupation and hobby of the character. On the stage, the actors' performances must exaggerate their physical movements, and the actors often rely on furniture, trees, and relying on performances to be more convenient, more natural and generous, and can also be reflected on the stage (morning, noon, evening or moonlight, etc.). This point is mainly based on the requirements of the script, the rendering of the environment and characters, portraying conflicts between different scenes and different characters. In short, all the lights and performances make the whole drama become one, they complement each other and can complement each other. To make the perfect lighting and plot become harmonious and unified. The stage gives less space for lighting, and the actors perform on a framed stage. The distance between the actors and the audience is too far. At this point, the TV lights can greatly reflect their talents and effective space. Play more freely, the lamp position can be changed at random.

The commonality between stage lighting and TV lights is the use of lamps to create lighting in different situations. After the lighting on the stage is installed in one place, it is only a small adjustment. The stage area is only 12m×7m. It is really not easy to show the life side perfectly. It is even more remarkable, so many places are worth learning. In the past two years, the author has participated in the shooting of a series of 360 episodes, all of which provide a lot of material for their own lighting creation, three different sitcoms, "Farmer House", "Country House", "Children and Girls" In different scenes and different places, in the city and in the town, the TV light art does not simply supply the light of the camera, nor does it simply meet the illumination requirements of the production technology. Instead, it uses light to participate in artistic creation, and uses light to depict and shape the image in front of the camera. This is the fundamental task of TV lighting. With the development of the TV industry and the evolution of the TV form, the audience's appreciation of TV art and aesthetic requirements, the concept of TV aesthetics, the concept of light are also undergoing profound changes, people are not satisfied with TV art works. Simply telling the story, explaining the plot, fixing or lighting, and increasingly paying attention to and pursuing the true and natural light effects. Today, when TV is developing at an alarming rate, we must learn from the stage lighting and the lighting. In practice, summarize the success of TV lighting.

Compared with TV lighting, stage lighting is often constrained by effective space, and TV is much more flexible. The scene is bigger than the stage. Because it is not restricted by the environment, they are also virtual and real. TV reflects war scenes and earthquake scenes. Everything is very difficult. It can only be demonstrated by using a skylight plus a slideshow or a TV projection or a movie machine. The formation of a stage play, the light intervention is earlier, usually in about two months, and a 20-episode TV series cycle is only two months, so the TV lighting designer will go to the director after the scene. After completing the task of lighting, where is the main light of the whole field determined, what kind of character shape effect is achieved, and where the character outline light is used, all the TV lighting designers must be determined in a short time and provided to the camera. . The actors on the stage are often exaggerated, and a picture is just a pair of eyes. The close-up of the flowers allows the audience to see the flower core and the petals. All the pictures have to rely on the correct lamp position of the light, and the camera can be completed with the correct illumination. It is related to the difference between the whole camera character and the scene, the bright and dark relationship between the foreground and the consequences, the big circle of the clear and the scene is faint, the small aperture is clear, and the character is more illuminating, so it is necessary to pay attention to the relationship before and after, giving the character and the scene correct. The illumination and the processing of the character's shape light.
