The stage lighting design is mainly for the lighting design of theatrical stage performances, and the studio lighting design is the lighting design for the recording of TV programs. The stage lighting design faces the audience during theatrical performances; while the studio lighting design mainly faces the audience in front of the TV. More importantly, considering the effect of the TV picture after the broadcast, the editor will share for you The difference between studio lighting design and stage lighting design.

1. Avoid "black areas" on the TV screen

"Black area" refers to the large dark part of the filmed TV picture, which makes the picture depressive and hollow, which affects the broadcast effect of the TV program. Generally speaking, there is no concept of "black zone" in stage lighting, because stage lighting only needs to consider the visual picture of the human eye to be comfortable and suitable. When designing the studio lighting, the lighting engineer should fully communicate with the choreographer and cameraman to know the angle of view and composition of the camera in advance to avoid "black areas".

2. Different lighting requirements

Regarding the exposure of lamps and lanterns, the stage requirements are relatively strict, especially for realistic dramas performed on a framed stage, such as "Teahouse", "Thunderstorm" and other drama performances. The lamps should be hidden as much as possible to avoid disturbing the view due to the exposure of the lamps. The viewer’s visual experience. For studio lighting, many studio lamps are directly exposed, because the camera only shoots a certain area in the studio, as long as the lamps do not appear on the TV screen.

3. The use of "hard light" and "soft light"

The use of "hard light" and "soft light" is a very big difference between studio lighting design and stage lighting design. Hard light refers to light with strong directness, large difference in brightness of the subject, brighter highlights, and clearer shadow edges, such as LED spotlights; soft light generally refers to strong scattering, small differences in brightness of the subject, and high light points Softer light with softer shadows, such as LED film and television flat lights.

On theatrical stage, spotlights are usually used as top light, and if the studio lighting uses LED spotlights as top light, it will cause the shadows of the characters to be rigid, which is not suitable for the picture requirements of news or interview programs. For small and medium-sized studios, the lighting usually requires soft characters, and no harsh shadows and black areas. Therefore, soft lights are generally used, and the diffuse reflection of the lamps is relatively large. In the studio lighting, LED film and television panel lights are usually used to give people surface light, side light, etc., and LED spotlights are used as backlight lamps for character modeling.
