I first want to thank everyone for their help and suggestions as I really do know next to nothing about lighting. We are doing the MUNY version of the Wizard of Oz at our high school and do not have enough money for a lighting designer. So, I have to step up and figure it out. We are a brand new performing arts school and do have plenty of equipment to pull it off technically. I just do not know what gels or colors I should be using to create the proper mood for the scene. We are going with a modern Dorothy (blue jeans and flannel) and Kansas, and our jumping point for OZ and costuming is more Medieval/Renaissance in style with our witch being more of a sorceress/"Malificent-like".
I guess the question is, what color gels would you use for each setting? I am thinking of using front projection for the cyclone and having the wizard located in the fourth wall for the wizard scenes. We typically purchase Apollo gels. Anyway here are the scenes that I would love some help with color combinations:
Kansas
Munchkinland
Forest
Jitterbug
Emerald City
Witches Castle
Thank you all so much for your time and help. I really appreciate it.
Sincerely,
Actor who should have paid attention in tech classes in college but thought he would never use it but now is regretting it because he is directing a high school musical and doesn't have a clue about lighting
