多年来，设计照明，包括照明重点的创建（我是如何想象一个生产的图形表示会亮起时，我都坚持一个特定的进程

For many years, I have adhered to a particular process when designing lighting that includes the creation of a Lighting Key (a graphic representation of how I imagine a production will be lit.

当然，这个过程与文本的深入阅读的导演和合作的同事的概念思路的研究，初步的仔细检查开始设置和服装设计，创立了初步的线索名单根据接近（或成品）阅读的文本，并通过我可以看戏的任何初步运行。提供尽可能多的信息，我可以收集的武装，我准备开始想象我会如何实现导演的，我的愿景照明生产。

Of course, this process begins with a thorough reading of the text, a study of directorial and collaborative colleagues’ conceptual ideas, A close examination of the preliminary (or finished) set and costume designs, the creation of a preliminary cue list based upon close reading of the text and any preliminary run through of the play that I can watch.? Armed with as much of this information as I can gather, I am ready to begin imagining how I am going to achieve the director’s and my vision for lighting the production.

A Rough Sketch of The Set Design of Prima Donna

第一步是要创建开始符号将代表在空间中的演员的阶段的抽象平面图。有时候，我只是用一个字母（如字母A）。我经常选择人物的平面图。然后，铭记照明功能（特别是能见度，选择对焦，造型，意境，讲故事，加强同事的选择），和文本信息的交叉点和设置的，我开始想象如何照明会有效地支持环境生产。下面是一个生产首席女高音（由亚瑟·本杰明一幕歌剧）的照明按键的例子。在本作中的设置是伊斯兰风格的客房设有窗户俯瞰威尼斯运河。该场景开始在很大程度上是空房间。乘员陷入财务困境，他的家具都被没收，因此，房间基本上是空摆设。的时间是傍晚。

The first step is to be to create an abstract plan view of the stage starting with symbol that will represent the actor in space.? Sometimes I just use a letter (such as the letter A).? Often I choose a plan view of a human figure.? Then, bearing in mind the functions of lighting (particularly Visibility, Selective Focus, Modeling, Mood, Storytelling, Reinforcing Colleagues Choices), and the intersection of the textual information and the environment of the setting, I begin imagining how lighting might effectively support the production.? Below is the example of a lighting key for a production of Prima Donna (a one-act opera by Arthur Benjamin).? In this production the setting is in an Islamic-inspired room with windows overlooking a Venetian canal. The scene starts in a largely empty room.? The occupant is in financial trouble and his furnishings have been confiscated, hence the room is largely empty of furnishings. The time is late afternoon.

需要注意的是温暖的午后的阳光被描述为从后舞台右方来以低角度反射的SL前面午后的阳光。与此同时，在暗示从天空反弹光的颜色的顶光被调用，以及从SR正面能见度的缘故凉性或中性补光灯。实际颜色不指定（如在从罗斯科，李，阿波罗...等的凝胶的颜色。）相反功能描述用于解释相对的颜色。一旦设定和服装油漆和布料颜色被称为实际颜色选择，一旦整个照明方案作出决定。

Note that the warm afternoon sunlight is described as coming from the back stage right and reflected afternoon sunlight from the SL front at a low angle.? Meanwhile a top light in a color suggestive of bounce light from the sky is called for as well as a fill light of cool or neutral from SR front for the sake of visibility.? The actual colors are not specified (as in the gel colors from Rosco, Lee, Apollo…etc.)? Rather functional deｓｃｒｉｐｔions serve to explain the relative color.? The actual color will be chosen once the set and costume paint and fabric colors are known and once the entire lighting scheme is decided upon.

到了第一个场景结束后，居民已做好准备招待他有钱有势的叔叔。家具是租来的，并发表，食品采购和两个合唱团女孩的娱乐形式都伪装成一定的歌剧天后（而不是只有一个）来招待公爵好色。

By the end of the first scene, the resident has made preparations to entertain his wealthy and influential uncle.? Furniture is rented and delivered, food procured and entertainment in the form of two chorus girls both masquerading as a certain opera diva (instead of just one) arrive to entertain the lecherous Duke.

第二现场的第一发生后一个小时，但对于高度热情的原因，导演想要一个非常夜间感觉现场。

The second scene occurs an hour after the first, but for reasons of heightened passion, the director wants a very nighttime feel to the scene.

请注意，月光灯从后SL与FOH SR反映月光的房间。顶光加强夜间的外观和补光灯，从FOH SL用来完成对现场的普通照明。而这一幕的附加功能是吊灯，应出现将提供现场照明。该光分解成一个整体的前光以提供温暖的面，这将是一个陡峭的后，顶，或侧光，这取决于照明面积与枝形吊灯的关系的影响的光。

Notice that the moonlight lights the room from back SL with reflected moonlight from FOH SR.? A top-light reinforcing a nighttime look and fill light from FOH SL serve to complete the general illumination for the scene.? And added feature of this scene is the chandelier, which should appear to be providing the illumination for the scene.? This light breaks down into an overall front-light to provide warmth to the faces and an effect light that will be a steep back, top, or sidelight, depending on the relationship of the lighting area to the chandelier.

把两者一起，我们到达了一个全面的照明键：

Putting both together, we arrive at a comprehensive lighting key:

请注意，每个照明领域将有多达10个固定装置聚焦到它。也认识到这个键只是处理的主要演奏领域。辅助领域，如在阳台上，都抢戏 - [R＆L门道，在灯光的设置背面以及可能需要的任何专辑透过拱形窗户看到的下降，将需要额外的照明和额外的灯具。

Notice that each lighting area will have as many as 10 fixtures focused into it.? Also recognize that this key is just dealing with the main playing areas.? Ancillary areas such as out on the balcony, both upstage R & L doorways, lighting the drop seen through the arched windows at the back of the setting and any specials that might be required, will require additional lighting and additional fixtures.
