Weather in other films

When watching films they use pathetic fallacy within them where they use the weather to show the mood of the characters or the situation within the film therefore I've been looking at many genres and looking at how they use the environment and mainly weather.

In 'The Notebook'  during the scene where they share a passionate romantic kiss and rekindle their love for each other the rain is used because at first they are arguing then they put all that beside and show their love in the most romantic way of expressing it. The rain is heavy but the sun is still in the sky making the scene light and positive, as you can see from the picture it is used in a romantic loving way, his picture was used in the poster but is taken from a scene in the film.
Nicholas sparks is the Author of the book 'The Notebook' and other romantic novels he composed such as 'The Last Song', 'Safe Haven' , 'Dear John', 'The Lucky One' and many others which have all been made into major and popular films.
These are the posters of the films which have came from books by the author Nicholas Sparks but the pictures are taken from scenes featured within the films themselves. They all have one scene in common and the weather is based in a sunny area by the beach or picturesque landscape and I feel that by my filming in Perth I could go down the romance route and use the beach environment to my advantage.

Several other films use pathetic fallacy in order to show the mood of the scene in other genres such as 'Psycho' (1960) in this scene the weather is dark and dim it shows Marion driving in the car reminiscing the conversation she had in her head. The scene is dark at the beginning but quickly moves onto the evening where you can see fog and mist in the windows behind her in the surrounding environment as the camera is focused on her for the ride. This film is a horror and throughout the film the story consists with being based on cold weather, also during parts where the audience is trying to be spooked they use wind through windows and in the area to build up tension. I could use this in Perth as they often get high winds which is over in a matter of hours so I could use this to my advantage and create a new idea in order to have the best possible outcome.

Another genre which uses weather to show the mood within the story line is comedy, films such as 'Happy Gilmore', 'Step Brothers' and 'Just Go With It' all use the weather to show happiness the sun is always shining and in most ways they use the weather in the script they comment on how lovely the day is or how beautiful the view is which passively shows the audience how the characters are feeling. In this screenshot you can see three of the main characters in the sun the area is beautiful and pristine, the lighting is bright even the sand is nearly white which is showing how positive and happy the environment is, I could defiantly base my ideas and story line around a scene like this as I would have the beautiful Perth beach to base my story on and the weather can be used to adapt my idea in every way.
