Saturated Washes and Neon Claustrophobia
Pilot Theatre did not use soft, naturalistic lighting. The design was meant to feel like an oppressive, high-tech dystopia. You must specify aggressive choices: saturated LED washes, high-intensity strobes, and cold screen-glows to get into the top marking band.
The Big Idea: The Eduqas adaptation uses highly saturated, unnatural colors to create a constant feeling of tension, unease, and violence.
Using LED lighting bars to flood the stage with deep, highly saturated colors. Perfect for creating the non-naturalistic, dystopian atmosphere of Albion.
A high-intensity, rapidly flashing light. Used to disorientate the audience and create visceral panic during scenes of terrorism (like the bombing).
Lighting an actor from below (often using the glow of a mobile phone or TV screen). It casts unnatural shadows upwards, making characters look sinister or manipulated by media.
A lantern that creates a razor-sharp, hard-edged beam of light. Excellent for isolating characters in the final prison scenes.
