Mood Board

1. The first image is of Michael Myers from the halloween franchise. He is the typical psycho serial killer. I have included this image as our main villain will be masked in the few scenes his face is shown. We will therefore need a mask that is instantly impacting, and still can’t decide between a basic one such as this or a clown face etc that may add more depth to the character.

2. I have included an image from A Cabin In The Woods to help show our ideal location. We are hoping to shoot in the woods and near old buildings, in isolated locations away from people. This is similar to the cabin in the woods and is one of our inspirations as the isilation and unfamiliar settings will help to unsettle our target audience.

3. The third image is from Blair Witch Project. We have included this imag mainly as refrence to the camera angles. We ar hoping to feature the hand held shaky cam quite a lot, alongside other angles. We hope this will add an air of confussion and dissamay that will, at certain momments, help to build tension as our audience struggle to see the outcome. 

4. This is an image from Stephen King’s It. We have used this image as not only are we once again looking at the mask possibilities but this movie deals heavily with psychological horror, something we are keen to explore in our trailer, alongside their well timed jump scares. and building of suspense. This is once agin echoed in king of the ants where the film explores hallucinations and how the strange scenraios are used well to scare the audience. 

5. The is an image from Let Me In. This movie deals with how innocence can be exploited through mind games. The main charcter controls men by making them fall in love with her. We have used this as inspiration as we hope to use children in our trailer to shock the audience and in turn appeal to parents who enjoy horrors at the horror itself will strike closer to home. 

6. This is our final image. It is of The Woman in Black. We have taken inspiration from this in the form of the fear of the unknown. Our own villain will appear very little and we are more interested in exploiting the fear of his presence rather than possible body horror, so as to in keep with our psychological horror narrative. We are also keen to look at their jump scare momments as they are welll timed and more often than not, catches the audience of guard through stange ways. we wish to replicate this to it full horrific potential.
