Blog 15: Mood Board

 

Mood Board 

Hey guys, this is another episode of my filming project journey. Today, I am presenting you our mood board. 

    The main idea of this mood board is create a sad atmosphere. As you already know, we are filming about a coming up age girl who are celebrating her first birthday without her mom and her dad couldn't make it in time due to his work. The mood board mostly cover with lonely pictures that convey a nostalgia mood. Additionally, there are also some flashback to childhood's memories compares to her older self next to a birthday cake. We also decided to add in some rainy window to create an dark atmosphere. A more chilly atmosphere adds on with the silence of the house would definitely emphasize the loneliness. 

    Furthermore, we decided to make a change in background color from white to dark gray because it would make the poster stood out as a darker theme. The muted tones and reflective imagery, such as a close-up of a phone screen with a message received or an incoming call from dad evokes a feelings of longing and emergence. On top of that, the party elements including a small cake, a party hat, and a "Happy Birthday" banner lights up the bittersweet nature of celebrations that may bring back one's deep down memories. Additionally, the scene where a person is applying makeup or the white flower highlight the contrast of different stage of the main character's life. This mood board overall goal is to maintain a powerful representation of life's multifaceted emotions.
