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.
