Mood Board

A mood board is like a mind map produced by a designer/producer to help them get a clear idea of their specific topic which is made up of collages (images, colour samples etc) which can either be actual or virtual.

To create this mood board I had the help of the World biggest search engine Google. Google Images gave me a good range of quality images to help make up the mood board. I had searched words like ‘’ Horror’’ or ‘’Horror Wallpapers “. By typing the word ‘Horror’ will automatically search for images from that phrase. This helped narrow down searches just to images that were appropriate or appealed to the genre of Horror for my teaser trailer.  The colours were mostly black, white and red. This conveys most Horror films as most of them use this particular colour scheme to represent more of a bloodcurdling, dangerous and horrific theme.

This is a specific mood board which is related to the theme of mine and my chosen group’s genre of the horror trailer we are going to produce. This mood board designed by myself is to create a little glimpse of what the plot of the trailer is about. The mood board itself portrays that the trailer is more of a slasher and paranormal trailer with the images resembling this very well. The images show the trailer would be about young teenagers/students which would be at a setting of a dark gloomy house. The rest of the images are different shots that would be used in the trailer with mid shots and closes up to show the facial expressions and body language well.

These images are used which will base my ideas on my Horror teaser trailer. The help of this mood board is crucial as it gives me more of an idea on what is expected to present to my target audience. Visually this will develop my ideas to take the best video/picture at the right angle to be put used in my teaser trailer. This will also help me filming as I will bring props and tell the actors to dress accordingly. Finally, this will give me more of a visual idea to develop all my idea on to making the best outcome by researching colour schemes, images etc.
