Mood Board.

To gather ideas for my horror trailer I put together a mood board to compare the similarities that occur in colour, character and themes. I observed that all the photos below use dull, dark colours that are conventional of the scary genre. The anti-protaganist which is often the killer normally wears a mask or has a terrifying distorted face, as hiding their identify adds mystery, makes them looks horrific and adds tension. The innocent victims are conventionally tortured in a graphic, gory way to add the gruesomeness to the genre. The setting and theme conventionally starts peacefully however the victim/victims take a wrong turn to fall in to the villains trap where the surrounding changes and conventional turns dreary, leaving the victims trapped, this refers to Freytag's theory of the climax in the film and Torodov's themes of disequilibrium.
