P.S. The music for my senior capstone is (Blue Gangsta – Michael Jackson), the lighting I would include is Blue and White, and the sound is I Want a Gunshot. The Lighting cue starts with natural light and drops to all-blue, then blue and white. The design I want is an old-school Hollywood Gangster in a Club 30 scene.
