  一本實用的燈光書


  個人在舞颱燈光的教學經驗中,常常碰到的學生反應是:「老師,參考書目為什麼都是英文的?」「有中文的教材嗎?我的英文程度不好,讀起來太吃力。」雖然我會告訴學生,使用原文閱讀有助於正確學習燈光專業知識的本質,也是主要的資料更新管道,但是有時我也會思考,如果有一本以中文寫作的燈光書,應該可以讓初學者在剛開始學習燈光專業時, 縮短因為文字隔閡而産生的時程障礙,或是避免英文程度不佳而造成的錯誤解讀,同時也降低學習門檻,達成吸引更多人參與燈光學習的效果。如此該是從事劇場燈光技術教育者樂見和支持的。

  本書提供瞭上述想法實現的一個可能。全書涵蓋瞭舞颱燈光各部分的基礎知識,各章節分彆為劇場燈光簡介、燈光特性與功能、基本電學、燈泡、燈具與器材、燈光係統、色彩學、燈光的方嚮與角度、劇場介紹、打燈方式、燈光圖、紙上作業、燈光設計程序。內容循序漸進、深入淺齣, 對有誌於劇場燈光學習者,可說是一本極具價值的參考書。

  作者將颱灣劇場現況加入章節中做實例的探討,是我覺得全書中最值得肯定的特色。他將書本上的專業知識與颱灣劇場實務應用同步討論,提供學習者一個在地而全麵的視野,是相當務實、有用的作法。

  李東榮先生是我早期的工作夥伴,也是現在的同事,二十餘年來,我們都在劇場燈光這個專業領域工作、教學,很高興看到這本匯整他多年教學內容的書籍齣版,更期待未來有更多關於這方麵的著作齣現。

  從事劇場燈光教學及設計多年,常有學生詢問是否有關於燈光設計或技術上的書籍可供參考。我的答案很難滿足他們的需求,因為這方麵的中文書籍本來就很少,可找到的書不是已經絕版,就是有些過時。當然,裏麵陳述的一些觀念和做法與現在相通,很值得參考,但不容易取得。至於英文書籍就有不少講述劇場燈光方麵的著作,我也拜讀瞭一些。要學生在網路上訂購很容易,但語言的隔閡對於一部分的學生來說卻很難跨越。考慮之後,還是由我自己來編寫中文的燈光書,也可以把多年來的教學筆記做一次完整的整理,讓劇場燈光的初學者能有一份較易親近及閱讀的中文參考書。

  在教學的頭一兩年,我將英文劇場教科書的內容完全翻譯成中文,當成教學的內容。然而我發現其中陳述的狀況與颱灣的現況有些許差異;雖然颱灣的劇場技術是師法於歐美,但製度、環境和民族的性格都不相同, 數十年來颱灣自己發展齣一套近似歐美的體製,但又不盡相同,是一個屬於颱灣特有的工作方式。本書中,這兩種方法我都會介紹。歐美的做法比較嚴謹完善,且經過長時間的驗證,一直是我們學習的榜樣。我會強調其做法,並附帶解說颱灣的不同做法或省略瞭哪些步驟,讓初學者有更寬廣的視野,知道為什麼,而不是看到彆人的作法,就認為隻能這麼作或是應該這麼作。

  科技日新月異,器材不斷更新,盡管很多設計的理念與方法持久不變,但新的科技也會改變我們設計的方式與做法,因此瞭解器材和瞭解設計都非常重要。這也是為什麼我會花較多篇幅解說器材與劇場,之後纔講解設計的方法與步驟。

  期待這本書的齣版,對有興趣參與劇場燈光的人士或是從業人員能有一些幫助,並作為與颱灣劇場燈光工作人員相互切磋與交流的工具,也為颱灣劇場的進步與發展略盡綿力。

第二章  燈光的特性與功能

一、燈光的特性(Qualities of Light)

光對於大多數人來說理所當然,很少人會去仔細觀察,更彆說描述它瞭。不管是自然的光(如陽光)或是人工的光(如燈光),都有自身的特性。瞭解這些特性能夠幫助你觀察光綫,進而復製光綫和創造光綫。以下要討論的燈光特性,也可以說是我們能改變燈光的方麵,而研究這些方麵讓我們知道如何駕馭燈光。

㈠明暗度

燈光的亮度是最明顯的特性,也是最容易改變的。一般我們去買燈泡,最在乎的是有多亮;看書用的?還是走廊照明用?我們會選擇不同亮度的燈泡,因為對各個地方有不同亮度的要求,在劇場當然也是。

亮度可以分為實際亮度和比較亮度。用器材去測量,測齣來的數據就是實際亮度。如拍攝電影時,工作人員會用測光錶去測亮度。器材上的數據會告訴你有多亮,而且數據保持不變。對於我們的眼睛來說,一樣數據的亮度,在不同狀況下感覺也有差異。比如車燈在大白天看不太齣來, 但在黑夜裏就感覺非常亮,這就是比較亮度。因為我們的眼睛有瞳孔,可以適應不同亮度,例如一根蠟燭的亮度非常微弱,若把它放在全暗的舞颱上,感覺就截然不同。所以在對於明暗的感覺上,比較亮度勝過實際亮度。善用實際亮度和比較亮度可以在舞颱製造很多效果。

㈡顔色

光除瞭明暗之外,顔色是最容易分辨的。現實生活中,我們常看到有顔色的光綫,如夕陽、日齣、霓虹燈和交通號誌等等。顔色在劇場設計的領域中,是非常強而有力的設計元素,在劇場呈現的效果及戲劇性極強, 因為顔色給人的感覺比較直接和強烈。用燈光的顔色去營造氣氛或呈現場景的時間地點,是劇場中常使用的手法。

白光可以幫助物體呈現原有的顔色;色光則因為本身也有顔色,所以可以改變物體的顔色。在使用色光時要極為注意,一個不小心就會傷害其他設計師(如舞颱設計、服裝設計)創造的顔色。雖然如此,色光在劇場燈光中是非常好用的設計工具,可以在一瞬間改變顔色,創造另一個不同的情境。

Before picking up "Theatre Lighting Design and Practice," my understanding of stage lighting was rudimentary at best. I knew that lights were used, and that they could change the mood, but the intricate planning and the sheer artistry involved remained largely a mystery. This book has unravelled that mystery with remarkable clarity and depth. It starts with the absolute basics, explaining the fundamental properties of light in a way that is remarkably easy to comprehend, even for someone without a scientific background. The way it links optical principles, like reflection and refraction, directly to how light behaves on stage is incredibly effective. It’s not just abstract physics; it’s physics as applied to the creation of visual magic. What truly sets this book apart, however, is its focus on the *art* of lighting design. It moves far beyond mere technical instruction to explore how light can be used as a powerful expressive tool. The discussions on color theory are particularly insightful. It doesn't just explain the scientific basis of color, but delves into the emotional and psychological impact of different hues and combinations. The book provides compelling examples of how lighting designers use color to create specific atmospheres, to define characters, and to guide the audience’s emotional journey through the performance. I found myself constantly pausing to re-read passages where the book described how a subtle shift in a color wash could completely alter the feeling of a scene, or how the strategic use of shadows could reveal a character’s inner turmoil. The practical aspects of the book are equally robust. It offers a comprehensive guide to the vast array of lighting instruments available, detailing their functionalities, their strengths, and their limitations. This practical knowledge is essential for making informed choices about equipment selection. Moreover, the book extensively covers the collaborative nature of theatre production, detailing how lighting designers work with directors, set designers, and other members of the creative team.

This book, "Theatre Lighting Design and Practice," feels like a conversation with seasoned professionals, a sharing of hard-won wisdom that has fundamentally reshaped my understanding of theatrical illumination. I’ve always been fascinated by the way light can transform a space, making it feel intimate or vast, joyous or melancholic, but I never truly grasped the underlying principles or the meticulous planning involved. This book, however, demystifies the process with remarkable clarity and insight. The initial chapters delve into the very physics of light, not in a dry, academic way, but by connecting each principle directly to its application on stage. Understanding how diffusion affects beam spread, or how gels filter color, becomes immediately relevant when you see examples of how these elements are used to sculpt actors' faces, define architectural spaces, or evoke specific emotional landscapes. What’s particularly compelling is the book’s exploration of light as a narrative element. It emphasizes that lighting isn't merely about visibility; it's an active participant in telling the story. The discussions on how to use light to focus audience attention, to create dramatic tension through contrast and shadow, or to signal a shift in time or location are profoundly insightful. I recall reading about a specific scene where the designer used a subtle shift in color temperature and a gradual dimming of ambient light to convey a character’s internal turmoil. This detailed analysis of how subtle changes in light can have such a significant emotional impact on the audience was a revelation. It taught me to look beyond the brightness and color of a stage and to appreciate the deliberate artistry behind every luminous choice. The practical aspects covered are equally impressive. The book provides detailed breakdowns of different types of lighting fixtures, their technical specifications, and their strengths and weaknesses in various theatrical contexts. It doesn't just list them; it explains why a particular fixture might be chosen for a specific effect, considering factors like beam quality, intensity control, and color rendering. The sections on lighting plots, cue sheets, and the collaborative process between lighting designers, directors, and other members of the production team offer a realistic glimpse into the professional workflow.
