Theatre Lights

From Teachers TV, this lesson starter from the Lesson Planning Pack series helps children to think about how light can be used in a theatre to create mood.

The video brings the real world of light into the classroom and shows how light and colour can be used to create different moods on stage.

Different examples of lighting are illustrated - such as how spotlights can create shadows - and children are asked how they think the lighting effects are created.
