Moodboard

Here are some pictures of our mood board. A mood board is when you get pictures of your ideas and then stick them all down on a piece of paper. This just generalises what your idea will consist of and could show some of the plot. This helps other people to understand what the overall idea is, but also it means the creators can see there idea in person and may help then to add different conventions in.

Our mood board shows props, costumes and setting of our thriller idea. Some costume ideas are black clothing and some masks. This is because our criminal will be dressed in black and may have a mask and this is because most criminals wear black so we feel this will just fit the stereotype but still be mysterious and creepy. However we decided to scrap the idea of using a mask as the specific one was hard to find but also using a mask would prevent use from seeing the killer; one of the conventions of a thriller is that the antagonist is revealed early and the mask might prevent this.

The props shown are knives and weapons as these are what the criminal will be using to kill our characters. As these are just ideas we have different blades as we may change our mind. We picked these types of weapons as its most commonly used in thrillers and they are easily obtainable. Furthermore we think the weapon should be a blade as it is viewed as more deadly and could create more suspense. If there is more suspense then our thriller may be more successful.

The setting that we have shown is in a park or woodland area; therefore we have shown some pictures of people scared in fields. We picked woodland areas because they are private so this adds to the suspense as the characters will be helpless and alone. We think our mood board is effective as it shows all of our ideas very simply but still maintaining suspense. Furthermore the pictures we used greatly show what will happen in our thriller.
