Mood board

I decided to create four mood boards to try and show my group how I interpret our opening sequence idea as the visual representation may help communicate my ideas about the sequence clearer.

For this first mood board (pictured above) I wanted to portray some angles of shots that I would imagine would be in our sequence for example profile shots, low angles and high angles. I wanted to also represent what I would think some of the interactions between the characters through images. The top left would be how I imagine some of the fighting would look like, and if you look at towards the bottom, I chose a picture from 500 days of summer as I thought this shot and the way the characters are dressed matches how I would dress the characters and how I would shoot this mid shot. 

 

For this second mood board, I wanted to encapsulate the character of the man in the lift. I paid attention to his costume, and his posture which the majority of these characters have in common. In the top left, I wanted to get inspiration for a smart casual outfit and I thought the blazer and shirt was a good balance.  In the centre image, I focused more on what the shot looked like, as this image was a clear representation of a shot in the scene that I had imagined in my head. The two images at the bottom of the mood board are images that I imagine the man to look like. They seem like quite menacing people, which is my intention as the whole reason why the woman wants to kill this man, is because he committed an awful crime, so he needs to look like a criminal.

This next mood board is to do with how I picture the location of the scene which is set in a lift. Firstly, I didn't want the lift to look fancy, I want there to be an element of it being slightly musty/ old, because it is unlikely that this man would be living in an apartment block that had a nice looking lift. I also feel like the aesthetic of the mood board, reflects the tone of the sequence, which is dark and slightly eerie. This will make the audience suspect that something isn't quite right, as the atmosphere will make the scene more tense. I have included various excerpts like the buttons of the lift, and the CCTV camera, as well as some CCTV footage which we hope to recreate in the final sequence.

In this final mood board, I wanted to create some images to portray how I see the woman in the lift. I wanted to show what props she may be holding which includes the letter, I also wanted to show what costume she may wear, which is represented by the picture shown in the top left and what I believe she may look like which is shown in the top centre picture. Finally I used another CCTV camera shot, to show what she may look like in the surveillance footage.
