Juxtaposition Of Gender In Anton Chekhov's The Bear

759 Words4 Pages

In an analysis of Anton Chekhov’s The Bear, we find a world out of balance with sexist stereotypes and a juxtaposition of femininity and masculinity in Popova and Smirnov. Man versus Woman, at least the preconceived notions of what male and female roles are. Men are “beasts” and women are untrue. Ironically during the show we see that women can be “beastly” and both men and women have the capacity to cheat and be untrue. My lighting design concept was to capitalize on this dichotomy. Creating a warm environment with lighting while the scenic elements are dark and closed off from the rest of the world. First, working with a proscenium stage (at 38’ opening), I would establish area lighting and gel all area lighting with Rosco 06 No color …show more content…

I have never used LED, intelligent, or moving lights. My experience is with ellipsoidals, fresnels, par cans, and scoops. I have used an ETC board with 96 channels. Lighting areas will include two lights for each area (45° angles without down light). Again, these will have Rosco 06 No color straw as the gel for natural light and skin tones. I would utilize submasters to program specials and area lighting. For example, I would program submasters 1-12 for the corresponding areas. I would also program specials and color washes on the submaster. Because of my lack of faith in technology, I have rarely used cues. Submasters do make it easier to program cues, so I have left it to my light technicians to determine whether they wish to use cues or …show more content…

All the practical lighting will be warm in nature. The candles will create a warm light around Popova as she mourns her husband and gazes at a photograph of him as the play opens. As Luka enters more light will be brought in and he will turn on the other lamps in the room. The lighting will create a mood of optimism, but the use of some yellow undertones will cause some irritability as the characters moods shift. Luka’s entrance and warmer, brighter lighting brings optimism into Popova’s mournful opening of the play. As Smirnov enters lighting will be brighter and bolder, including more reds as his character is passionate about all he does. Changes in levels will reflect changes within the scenes. Specials will be used to focus the audience's’ attention and intensify

The ratio of female to male characters in novels is estimated to be around 1:4, with an increase in recent years that hopes to tie the ratio. In many pieces of literature, women are portrayed in a weak light, as characters with no will always submit to the situation around them. Strong female characters are important as they can boost the confidence of females in society. The female characters in Moon of the Crusted Snow by Waubgeshig Rice are portrayed in a positive light, as seen in Aileen Jones, Nicole McCloud, and Meghan Connor, and offer insight into the strengths women contribute to society. Aileen is an elder who keeps the Anishinaabe culture alive, by being a caregiver and key member of the community.

I applied this concept as I created my advertisement, using colors that transitioned from cool blue to red hot. The overall effect I hope to achieve is that by the time viewers read the red “F”, they feel excitement about this year’s festival and are motivated to participate. Though I could have created this same effect with a variety of color gradiations, I chose to start with the color blue. Not only does this choice increase the drama of the “warming effect”, but the color holds significance to locals and the city of Memphis. My audience is already in love with the blue through their experiences with the NBA Grizzlies, University of Memphis and the Tigers, and listening to B.B. King and blues music.

When lighting an exterior scene with a wide shot, not much could be done to balance levels. But when the director goes for a close-up or a medium shot, he uses diffusion or bouncing light to hide the hard quality of light from the sun. Diffusion and bounced light is in the movies since the late 1910’s and early 1920’s. Keeping the exposure of the actor’s face allows the audience to believe what is going on. The limitation of power on the non-studio shots makes lighting fixtures difficult to power.

Lighting is used rather traditionally for the majority of the movie and helps to distinguish the “good” from the “bad”. For instance, the original Maria is shown in soft-key, angelic lighting that casts a halo around her to emphasize her purity and beauty. The fake Maria, on the other hand, is shot in harsh lighting that creates a dark, unsettling vignette around her. This lighting style creates a contrast between protagonists and antagonists and is used frequently in Hollywood cinema.

Whenever a female character is presented in the scene she always looks as though she is the perfect type of woman and she is looked at by spectators as an icon with silky, flawless skin (Mulvey). This is through the combination of key and fill lighting. According to Dr. Phillips, when there is a high amount of key light and good fill light is when romantic lighting is created. Basically, the main female lead is always going to look creamy and never disheveled or strong. In contrast, men, such as Rick, can be placed in

Then when it was a bewitching or heavily demon related scene the lighter were very warm and there were lots of reds, yellows, and oranges present. When it was night time or in the jail cellar of Gretchen it was very cold comprised of mostly blue. The garden scene was a mix of cool and warmer tone lights, cooler lights to represent the greenery and warmer tones to symbolize the presence of the sun. The lights really helped set the mood. Moreover, the transition music was a fiddle mixed with harp vibes that reminded me of Shakespeare's "midsummer...".
