Mood Board Blog Post #15

 Mood Board!

Hello readers, this is the mood board I created based on our horror/thriller film opening. Because our movie fits into 2 similar genres, it was quite easy to put together. I will be explaining the reasoning behind each image and what it means in terms of the film's opening. First of all, the three images at the bottom are based on the killer. He is seen in the dark and almost like a shadowy figure. He is choosing which mask to wear to cover his face and keep his identity a secret. Also, you can see his choice of weapon, which is a knife. Near the top, you can see a toy doll, which is what the killer leaves at every crime scene. Next to it, is a dark room with dim lighting, which is what I want the setting to look like. Also, the bloody puddles and the caution tape are things found at every crime scene. Below is an image of a girl running away from something, which is a scene I want to incorporate into the film opening. Again, you can see a suburban house which is the home of one of the victims. You can see the moon which is when most of the killings take place, nighttime. Also, below those pictures, is an image of a girl who seems to be scared inside of her own home. This is a feeling I want to create in the opening. I want the viewers to be feeling paranoid and scared of what is coming next. All of these images have dim lighting, which is the lighting I want for the film. It adds to the suspense and thrill of the movie.

So, to conclude, this mood board captures the general feel and look of the movie perfectly. I hope to begin making it a reality soon!
