Chita Rivera: The Dancer's Life
1. Only 6 seconds into the clip you can already see different forms of technology being used. At this moment the lights are used to create an enormous shadow behind the dancing lady. It seems as though this light effect is being used to blow up the size of the woman so the audience can easily see the dance movements she is making.
2. At 29 seconds a bright spot light is shown in the woman dancing. The use of the spot light draws the audience's attention to the woman, instead of focusing on the background dancers.
3. Another spot light feature is used at 1minute 15 seconds. This shows a more dramatic way to use the spot light. It is larger and brighter and seems to be coming from behind the woman instead of in front of her. This creates a black and white view.

4. Different lighting effects are used at 2 minutes 58 seconds. There is a subtle spot light in the middle of the stage on all of the characters and the rest of the stage is lit with blue lights. The blue lights create a darker scene. They work with the sparkling curtains in the back that reflect the color. The floor, stairs and all parts of the stage have the blue lights shown on them.
5. At 3 minutes and 47 seconds the same feature is used except this time with red lights. The use of different color lights sets different moods for each scene.

6. 50 seconds into the video clip the use of a small spot light rests above a sign. This allows the rest of the stage to remain dark but lets the audience still see the important details.

7. This clip uses lighting in a very different way. Shown at 1 minute 34 seconds you can see hundreds of small lights positioned together to spell the word "Cabaret" in the background. Using lights instead of a poster makes the stage look fancier and more formal.
