Moodboard


When brainstorming we made a list of images that came to mind while listening to our song. And i produced a moodboard, this would help us when making the storyboard in thinking of shoots/props and framing.
A moodboard is used notebly in the music industry e.g a costume desginer would have one to show to the singer before they make the outfit. It helps you to get a better understanding of what we want to produce, what's needed, what can be done.

I attempted to capture all the visuals produce from the emotion of our singer, of the setting and style of house we would be filming in.

Each picture attempts to capture a particular theme of the music video. E.g. I have added a collection of images of a girl which you don’t quite get too see her entire face ; this reflects music as we felt the singer does not open up until the end of the song, so we have a idea of now showing her face but bits of her body in the beginning. Also I have added images of a girl whose make-up is very natural and not heavy, we got the impression that the singer is innocent and almost angelic so we wonted to reflect that in her facial appearance and also in her dress sense as the clothes that we all agreed on was a white dress. All the images I have used are of a girl who seems distressed and in each image she is alone, that was the impression we got from the song.

Noticeably, the mood board shows mostly primary colours, very natural; blue for the sky, green for the grass, white for the clouds and brown for the trees.

This mood board mirrors the mood and tone we hope to put across in the video, which is one of unhappiness, feelings of living in a never-ending battle but in the end walking away and moving on with your life.
