Grasping the new trend of stage lighting development is one of the compulsory courses for stage lighting engineers.

Only by correctly and accurately grasping the new development trend, can stage lighting be made better and more satisfactory.

      So, what are the necessary contents of the new trend of stage lighting development? According to the author's humble opinion, this new trend mainly has the following points, which will be discussed separately below.
 
1. Transition from singularity to diversification
　　
One of the new trends in the development of stage lighting is the shift from singularity to diversification.

　　The stage lighting in the past, often called "stage lighting", presents obvious singular characteristics. The future stage lighting will have a diversified development trend.
　　
The 21st century is an era of diversification, with multi-polarization of politics and economic and trade on a global scale.
Multilateralization determines the diversification of culture. The diversification of culture directly determines the diversification of stage lighting. The diversified development trend of stage lighting has already begun to take shape.
　　
One is the close integration of lighting and scenery, props, costumes, makeup, and sound effects to form a diversified complex. Sometimes there are "scenes" and sometimes "light effects". Lights are everywhere and everywhere, becoming a positive factor in diversification. For example, the "Light Cube" used to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China during the military parade and mass parade held in Tiananmen Square, the capital, is a trinity of lights, scenery, and props.
　　
The second is that the light itself has changed from a single light element to a collection of sound, light, chemical, and electricity.
An integrated complex of diversified elements. For example, strobe lights and sound control lights, etc., are all
Typical representative.
　　
The third is the diversification of stage lighting itself. In many stage performances, the same stage in different places and the same stage at different times are distinguished by different lights, and thus constitute a diversified stage lighting. Another example is the stage lighting of the TV show "Transformation", which is divided into three different lighting zones to create three different stage environments: modern urban night scenes, thousands of lights and neon lights, and old lights in dilapidated buildings. It shows historical memory; the visual collision of old and new lights alternately...and so on, there are too many to list.
　　
It can be seen that the transition from singularity to diversification has indeed become the development of stage lighting
One of the new trends.
 
2. The transition from passive to active
　　
The second new trend in the development of stage lighting is the transition from passive to active.
　　
In the past, stage lighting often overemphasized "creating a sense of space and time in the stage environment, rendering the atmosphere of the stage, highlighting the central character, and providing lighting effects (such as running clouds, rain, water waves, lightning), etc." for stage performances. The status of the service. What's more, it only emphasizes the role of lighting: "The other main task of stage lighting is general stage lighting during performances, so it is also called'stage lighting'."
　　
And the current stage lighting, in addition to the existing functions for stage performances in the past,
In addition, more emphasis is placed on the active function of the light itself, and the creation and creativity of the light
, So that stage lighting plays a role in deepening the theme, creating style, building brand, etc.
Greater artistic effect.
　　
Initiative is the abbreviation of "subjective initiative", also known as "conscious initiative", originally referring to
"The initiative shown by people to understand and transform the world in practice. It is human
The reason is different from the characteristics of animals. Including cognitive initiative and practical initiative In two aspects, the initiative of practice is the most fundamental. "I borrow this phrase here,Emphasize the initiative, creativity and pioneering nature of stage lighting itself.
　　
In this regard, there are also many convincing examples. Such as the 2008 Beijing Olympics
The opening and closing ceremonies of theatrical performances, the lighting fully demonstrates their own initiative
Features. It makes people feel: There are only things that are unexpected, and cannot be done without lights.

　　 It can be seen that the transition from passive to active is also a new trend in the development of stage lighting
One of the trends.
 
3. The transition from static to dynamic
　　
The third new development trend of stage lighting is the transition from static to dynamic.

　　 The stage lighting in the past is often in a static state, even if it changes slightly, it is only reflected in the brightness, chroma, and position.
　　
The current stage lighting is mostly in a flexible and changeable state. on the stage
Birds and colorful butterflies made by lights are flying around, and various light patterns made by lights
, Also intertwined and blended, colorful. The dynamic effect of stage lighting can be seen everywhere.
It can be said that the stage lighting itself constitutes a smart art world.

　　 It can be seen that the transition from static to dynamic is one of the new trends in the development of stage lighting.
