Description of Project: This project explores the design process for Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing by Judy Blume (adapted for the stage by Bruce Mason) as performed at Orlando Repertory Theatre in Orlando, Florida. In this exploration, I approach the topics of the design process from conceptual discussions with the design team through closing night. I document this process with a lighting design journal (including thoughts about the design approach, renderings, sketches, research images, rough plots and paperwork.) The project concludes with a self evaluation, completed plots and paperwork, and finished production photos.

Det här är en text som är ett resultat av vårt examensarbete vi genomfört under den sjätte och sista terminen på scenproduktionsutbildningen på Malmö högskola. Texten och examensarbetet utgår ifrån frågeställningar som vi arbetat med under terminen i samband med att vi ljussatt två teaterföreställningar som satts upp av Teaterhögskolan i Malmös examinerande masterelever. Vi tar upp frågor och tankar om ljuset, scenrummet och ljussättarens roll i det kreativa teamet. Syftet med detta arbete har varit att utforska hur vi kan ta hjälp av ljus och ljusdesign i skapandet av scenrummet. Hur vi definierar de rum vi arbetat i och hur det är att vara en del en produktion. Vi har kommit fram till att trots att själva upplevelsen av ljus och rum är individuell, så är det just det som gör det till ett intressant område. Konkreta saker vi fått svar på är att färg och form påverkar människan, oavsett om vi är medvetna om det eller inte. / This text is the result of our thesis we implemented during the sixth and final semester at Stage Production program at Malmö University. We raise questions and thoughts about the light, room and illuminate the role of the creative team. The aim of this work was to how we can, through light and lighting design, explore the creation of the room, how we define the room we worked in and how it is to be part production. We conclude that although the experience of light and space is individual, this it what makes it an interesting area.

The object of this investigation is to make a comprehensive study and obtain reliable information on the possibilities and limitations of an isolated electric light plant; operating cost will be determined with practical equipment to be used in connection with same, under actual farm conditions. The study was made on "Sandy Mound Farm" owned and operated by Mr. W. E. Hubbard. The farm is located two and one-half miles from Blacksburg, Virginia, near Shadow Lake. It consists of about 180 acres of crop land and 60 acres or woods. Mr. Hubbard operates a 20-cow dairy and sells cream to the southern Dairies at Christiansburg, Virginia. A complete farm management study was made of this farm as a Minor Problem. The subject of this study is the new Four Cylinder Delco Light plant, Model No. 178, generating unit,end 160 amphers an hour battery. / M.S.

Pedestrian lighting design is a very important part of urban lighting design. Appropriately designed pedestrian lighting can provide people with sense of safety and improve their quality of life. However, the exploration of people's needs and perceptions of pedestrian lighting is neglected. Most of the existing design guidelines are generated from designer centered perspectives. This study aims at creating new perspectives in pedestrian lighting study. In this study, lighting quality is investigated through a behavioral science approach by examining the relationship between the lighting attributes and people's perceived safety. Primary research objectives include identifying important attributes of the lighting environment, examining their influence on people's perceived safety, and exploring the impacts of pedestrian's individual characteristics in this perceptual process. In order to fulfill the research objectives, this thesis comprises an online survey that aims to discover the environmental perceptions of the people from Virginia Tech towards the nighttime pedestrian footpath scenes of the campus. The findings from the online survey indicate that important lighting attributes influencing people's perceived safety are identified as: uniformity, facial recognition, concealment and perceived brightness. The findings further indicate that some environmental context attributes, environmental perception attributes, and socio-demographic attributes also significantly influence people's perceived safety. Several design guidelines are provided for future lighting design practice. / Master of Landscape Architecture

The following thesis describes the development and process of the responsibilities and skills necessary for a director of photography in the motion picture industry. Pre-production and production aspects pertaining to experiences as a cinematographer are covered. Furthermore, the progression of learning about the field of cinematography is explained through personal examples of logistical, technical, and artistic requirements on both short and feature student films. Storyboards are included in the appendices.

The initial concept of my project started from my experience in China. The domestic increase of productivity, heavier workloads and longer working hours have provoked an urgent desire for an increased quality of leisure, which has triggered an enormous basic demand for comfortable houses with gardens in Chinese societies. But most Chinese people do not have a backyard or a garden to themselves due to the high population density. Public open space has to compensate for this demand. Meanwhile, with the quickening tempo of modern life and prolonged working hours, most people have to enjoy their entertainment and social activities after daytime. Therefore, these public open spaces are even more highly used than during the day, people use them as their backyard and for social gatherings. How these open spaces operate at night has had an enormous impact on nightlife and its importance has been gradually recognized. The Chinese government is spending large amounts of money constructing and upgrading the lighting in open space. But most of these projects do not address key issues associated with lighting. For example, what the government considers 'good lighting' many people consider to be over-lighting or functional lighting and even some lighting projects leave many functions of the space unlit, For instance, pathways or sidewalks are not lit but the plazas and squares are. Those types of issues occur in many open spaces due to a traditional approach to the lighting design process which tends to occur separately to the design process. Obviously most lighting projects do not really consider the relation of light, space and people's use. When I came to Melbourne I found out that the City of Melbourne has a specific lighting strategy, which is more about electricity saving and technical requirements rather than spatiality. In addition, many lighting companies deal with lighting effect on surrounding landscape and architecture but are also not about spatiality. So in order to understand the spatial qualities of lighting, my original research questions were: 1. Instead of traditional building materials how lighting can be used to transform space and spatial quality in open space? 2. How does lighting spatially bridge between site and street, site and building, site and context, eventually site and city? 3. I also wanted to consider the site's identity at various scales.
