Elements used in the film
Pathos
The music in the film gives a feeling of sadness towards the film as well as the victims. Stock footage of the college visits the students made, the news reports of what others have to say. they say that women shouldn't dress a certain way that they are guilty for their rape. and they shouldn't blame innocent male students without having proof. the parents reaction to finding out that their kids have been raped and the school is doing absolutely nothing to help. Also many victims of rape commit suicide because they receive no justice and are tired of seeing their rapist at schools.
