The estate in this movie is not in ruin for the majority of the movie but it is still threatening. A forest is full of shadows and darkness and one cannot see very far into it. Forests can hide many dangers that could harm the characters living in the mansion. Therefore, the mansion as a whole sets the potentially dangerous atmosphere because the two are living in an isolated area surrounded by a dangerous forest. Moreover, in the movie Rebecca, the scene where the new Mrs. De Winter retrieved Jasper had multiple aspects in the setting that set the atmosphere. When Jasper runs off from Mr. and Mrs. De Winter he runs to a boat house. The boat house itself is setting a dangerous atmosphere. Although the movie is in black and white it is clear that the boat house is made up of some dark colours. Light colours are very cheery but dark colours suggest a lot of negativity. Also it is made with very…

    wide variation in lower and upper registers for each member is what makes One Direction so successful. Simon Cowell was able to find five voices that each complimented each other uniquely to create complex harmonies that most bands can’t achieve.
