Selective Focus 1 - Stormzy at Glastonbury


This is a scene from the UK rapper Stormzy's performance at Glastonbury 2019. As expected, he is the primary focus of the show, which is accomplished by lighting the front of the stage relatively clearly, whereas the set and dancers are obscured in clouded and broken-up blue light. However, they are still lit enough to be clearly visible, and are the second focal point of the show. Their relatively diminished, but present, lighting and positioning above the ground gives the effect of reducing Stormzy's size, so that his presence is clearest but not distracting from the show's other visual elements.
