Night to Day

As we are approaching on Finals week, this comes with the all too familiar experience of all-nighters. It's never a pleasant feeling dealing with the grogginess and heavy eyes but the event in which the night sky begins to change its color makes for a great observation. The idea of the sun rising usually associates with the colors of the sun itself with oranges, yellows, etc. but in choosing color for theatrical lighting I've learned it is important to pay attention to choices realistically to setting. From my room, through the window the traveling of the sun changes the light and color of a black to various shades of blue, getting lighter and lighter as time passes. Just an important discovery I've made as far as color connection to memories of being awake through the night and onto the next day.
