This short documentary discusses the psychology behind weather, mood, and briefly on mental health. In my written journal i am discussing my thoughts and ideas through poetic documentary mode how documenting a everyday peoples stories about how such a simple and uncontrollable factor such as weather can effect so much in our lives. This connects the 'non' human natural phenomenon of weather with human lives, emotions and feelings.
In our First film class with Yorgos, we watched an extract from Alain Resnais "Night and Fog" 1955. This poetic documentary depicts visual and literal metaphors of the holocaust through the shots of the rubble and destruction left after WW2. Through the narration and the empathic tone of the speech the audience is encouraged to think freely about the suffering he is speaking of. This is poetic- comparing with a film like the 1937 film "The Spanish Earth" about the spanish civil war; this expository documentary uses the 'voice of god' to tell the viewer what to think. Rather than allowing them to think for them selves.
