Pathetic Fallacy
Definition: When the weather reflects the
current mood of the film/play etc. For example: When an actor is sad or angry
the weather usually turns to cloudy/stormy. You will notice this in a fair
amount of films, such as 'The School In the Woods'
We would like to take this idea from real
media products and see if it will work within our clip. Pathetic fallacy occurs quite often in Horror movies. Although
this clip is not part of our main construction i took
the opportunity to film a cloudy, stormy day just to capture the
'mood' of a setting. Bad weather results to bad happenings, the rush of the
leaves can be compared to the fast pace, panic of a victim even. I think
pathetic fallacy is a good effect to use in our construction not only does it meet
conventions of a Horror, but it also is very creative and al lot can be
said about this within our evaluation. In our one DSD would like to
specifically use fog instead of rain, maybe even thunder.
Let me know what
you think guys.
