Week 6: The Queen Mary's Dark Harbor

This past month I worked at The Queen Mary for the Halloween event called "Dark Harbor". Full of scary mazes on and off the haunted ship, I was a monster who had free roam of the street. As the month grew on while working on this project I became more and more aware of the lights that surrounded me and how important it was to have these lights create the exact ambience needed for a haunted harbor. Plenty of fog machines were used along with the warm colored lights to create the eery feel. Orange was a popular color used for the lights. The placement of the lights were extremely important too because in certain spots it created shadows that could confuse the maze goers and in other places it created good hiding spots for the monsters as well as good places to strengthen the monster's makeup and features. Without the lights the atmosphere would not be the same. All the design aspects contributed cohesively together to create the perfect eery Halloween I'm sure many will not forget.
