Special Effect

The following pictures are from an episode of Vampire Diaries. Vampire Diaries includes a lot of scenes with fog to set the mood and the setting right before something traumatic is about to occur. The fog signifies that someone is going to come into the scene or that a spirit is among the character.
In this first scene, Elena is casually writing in her journal. The audience can see a little bit of fog coming from the left side of Elena, but she is oblivious to it. 
In this next clip, she has become aware of the fog and you can see the concern in her face.

  2. OMG I used to love the Vampire Diaries!!! I'm not sure why I lost interest. This inspires me to get back into them! Excellent camera shots, it really shows Elena's complex character.
