Analysis

This is a short sequence from the film 'Shrooms' (2007 Paddy Breathnach). It shows a girl hiding behind a tree in the middle of some woods. This is relevant to our project as the protagonist in our sequence runs through the woods, hides behind a tree then breaks down crying. I find the media language in this short sequence very effective in creating a dark, scary atmosphere. The lighting creates a foggy, mysterious effect which therefore creates fear in the audience. We may be able to re-create this effect by filming early in the morning or late afternoon.
