Frank Lawrence's By Day and By Night

With the different ways we look at the world as humans the most important factor in how we perceive situations and make judgment calls is the time of day and the amount we can see.  There's a reason that nearly ever horror movie takes place almost entirely at night and why Halloween is celebrated by "trick or treating" at night.  The amount that we can see changes everything, things that we can see completely scare us much less than things that aren't entirely clear to us.  My project was meant to explore the ways we understand different situations by day and by night.  I wanted to ask the viewer, would something that scare you at night scare you during the day?  Some of the scenes are incredibly dark and hard to make out but the most important thing to remember when viewing my piece is to look for the shadows moving around more than seeing the actual actor walking around.
