Mood Board

While researching and planning our film product, Frankie and I created a mood board to show our ideas on paper. We visualized our group ideas of what the film may contain. Most of the sources where found on the Internet and magazines. We split the mood board into three sections; costume, props and locations. So our ideas were organised and presented on a mood board.




















For our film product we knew we wanted to attract the audience by the use of black and white images. So we used these effects on the flashbacks in the scene. Therefore it created more meaning to the storyline. On the mood board the section 'costume' displays our ideas on the 'type of characters' we were thinking of. Our main plan was to have a male protagonist looking simple and casual hence why we came up with the ideas of a plain top and jeans. the antagonists were revealed to look anonymous and mysterious so we wanted their costumes to have a great impact on the genre of the film; crime genre. Therefore we had chosen to have 'black clothes' for example black leather jacket/Suits.

The detectives uniform was to show the importance of the scene. Also the audience is able to understand what is about to happen as when the detectives arrive at a particular point.

These thoughts were our ideas, planning and research. The mood board helped us decide what type of characters we were looking for and it helped us display our thoughts onto paper.
