Mood Board

This is our mood board, we have incorporated all our ideas and what we want to achieve in our trailer. We chose the photo of the little girl to show that our trailer will have children involved as the main character(s). We have pictures from Pan's Labyrinth & Donnie Darko because we want to give our trailer a fantasy feel to it. The middle of the mood board is the title of our film 'Silent Night' , we thought this was a good idea due to it being Christmas based and it also sounded like a horror film title.

We used bright colours to show a christmas setting and to show that we wanted our film to show the contrast between light and dark. The light would come from the mornings when everything is fine and the dark would be the night when all hell breaks loose and the killer is free to roam around without people seeing him.

We chose to use a lot red to symbolize blood/gore and it is also the colour that is linked with christmas and/or Santa. The word 'Music' is there because we thought that it was vital to showing the genre of our film and it plays a big role in creating suspense and an enigma, this is what we hope to achieve in our trailer as we think that it is important creating/using the right piece(s) of music in order to make the audience feel what we want them to feel. The word 'Fear' is used because we want our character, like many iconic horror film antagonists, to strike fear into other characters and the audience. We thought that Santa was ideal for this as he is a character that near enough every person knows and 'Twisted' is on the mood board because we want to twist the idea that Santa is good and it also implies that the character himself may be a little psychologically fragile.

The characters from Saw, Halloween and A Nightmare On Elm Street are there because we thought that these were the scariest characters and the films themselves used a lot of gore and violence, these are elements that we hope to encompass within our trailer.
