Mood board

Pictured above is a mood board we created of all of our initial ideas, some of which are developed and enhanced from our AS film opening study, and others which are new ideas and filming methods we would wish to experiment with. some of our earliest ideas for themes are depicted above, incorporating generic collocations of horror with these dark images, and lack of escapism with the pictures of confined spaces and rooms, and reflective imagery shown with the mirrors. we wanted to incorporate general genre related features like slow moving, shadowy characters in homely environments. This would hence link to  media theorist Alistar Fowler who suggested audiences gradually through sub conscious familiarization learn what they end up expecting from particular genres of film such as horror. In our mood board with the photos we purposely picked we looked into imagery with different filters and type of lighting and editing, as we thought transitioning our movie trailer from color to black and white would create tension and show a ghostly transition from history and the past with harrowing happenings to the future, and also have already began thinking of how to create light so that we can film in dark rooms such as a bedroom without using warm natural lighting.
