Play Final: I chose this picture to represent the end of the play because the play ends with everyone coming to terms with their differences and downfalls and finding a unity in that difference. In this picture, the difference is represented by one being male and one being female, but they both have the same hand. Although there are differences in them, those differences can be what brings them together--rather than drive them apart.

Act 5 Scene 3: In this scene, Louis represents the yellow light and Belize the blue. I chose this light because one might not think that the two colors would compliment each other well, but when put together they can make something beautiful--much like how Louis speaks the words of Kaddish with Ethel over his shoulder, prompting him.

Act 5 Scene 2: I chose this picture because I would very much represent a different hue on heaven--one of ghostly and spooky nature. I would likely use some landmark from San Francisco, perhaps a portion of the golden gate bridge, but the entire scene would be cast in this dark green, ghostly light.

Act 5 Scene 1: I chose this picture because in this scene, Prior climbs up to heaven ahead of the Angel, and that is very much signified in this scene--as well as Hannah being left behind. The angel up top, Prior on the left, being lit by the light, and Hannah on the right, the shadow of the fantastic light casting down on her.

Act 4 Scene 9: I chose this picture because at the end of this scene, Roy is dying and asks Ethel (who he pretends he thinks is his mom) to sing to him. She does, thinking it's the aspect of death and beauty forcing his vulnerability. But it's revealed it's the same old Roy Cohn pulling her strings and that he 'won'. The man in the photo represents Roy and the beautiful lights represent the beauty of death--he is manipulating it even as he draws his final breath.

Act 4 Scene 8: I chose this picture because, in this scene, Louis sees different parts of Joe's personality that he didn't before. Every box in the picture can represent a different facet of Joe's past that Louis wasn't previously privy to--including the empty box on the first level.

Act 4 Scene 7: This is the first time that Joe tells Harper that he sees nothing in her. I enjoy this picture because, despite how close the two are together, they are just shadows and, in turn, all they see are shadows within the other person. They contain nothing they want or need, much like Joe and Harper do for each other.

Act 4 Scene 6: I like this photo because in it, the woman is trying to get away but is accidentally going straight into the light. In this scene, Prior is confiding in Hannah about the angel and you can tell he wants to get away from her, but is consequently always moving straight for her.

Act 4 Scene 2: In this scene, Prior and Belize are trying to 'name' Joe, and figure out who he is. I like this picture because it's black behind the spotlight, and all the focus is on the chair, or the person in the chair.

Act -- Scene --: I chose this picture because I think it represents everyone's desire to remain strong even with a burning light in their eyes. The lighting above almost comes off as strong but has this hopeless tint to it, signifying, to me, the need to change the lighting and create something new--rather than adapt to something old.

Act -- Scene --: I chose this picture because I think it represents everyone's desire to remain strong even with a burning light in their eyes. The lighting above almost comes off as strong but has this hopeless tint to it, signifying, to me, the need to change the lighting and create something new--rather than adapt to something old.

Act 3 Scene 5+ Act 4 Scene 1: I chose this lighting for both scenes because in the first one, Harper is asking the mormon mother what is required for people to change and the response is very negative and harsh and stark--much like the lighting above. In Act 4 Scene 1, Joe confides in Roy about his homosexuality and Roy's true nature comes out and he attacks Joe, verbally--which really hits home for Joe. This lighting is barren, hopeless and depressing, much like the responses that were given.

Act 3 Scene 4: In this scene, Belize tells Roy about what he thinks heaven is like, San Francisco. Roy thinks Belize is talking about hell and gets very scared. I chose this picture because the actual building itself is beautiful, but the light shone on it (Roy's interpretation) makes it seem ominous and frightening.

Act 3 Scene 3: In this scene, Joe tells Louis that he loves him, but Louis doesn't want anything to do with it and says he want's to see Prior again. In this photo, the ballerina represents Joe. Louis, looking at Joe, can see this exterior which may be beautiful, but when looking into his mind and seeing his personality, he sees nothing he wants, almost like the black shadow casting on the body of the ballerina.

Act 3 Scene 2: I chose this lighting because the figure here is very much in the spotlight, but we still cannot see their face and we have no idea who they are. Much like, in this scene, Prior and Harper are talking to each other and almost remember who each other are--but can't.

Act 3 Scene 1: I chose this picture because it shows all of this light shining on an individual, but them ignoring it and still being saddened and ridden with grief. In this scene, Belize tries to give Roy pills but Roy insults him and says he has his own. This is signified in this picture because Roy being self-sufficient is something he yearns for, but it doesn't do him any good or make him feel any better--much like the light to the man in this photo.
