Entry 67

Friday I went to see the Clemson Player's production of Boom. A comedy about the end of the world. It was a really funny experience and the play was quite inventive. The play took place in a single room with multiple artificial lights and the character's were constantly using them. So there were several scenes where a character had to turn on a light, or scenes where the room was plunged into darkness due to a power failure and the characters had to use flashlights. While the light in the scenes were quite realistic I noticed that several scenes had more light than a truly realistic scene would. For example, after the blackout an emergency generator was used to power some hanging lights, and after a couple of minutes several other lights were gradually added to enhance the visibility.
