Mood board and props

In the first image on my mood board I have decided to use an image of the clown mask that we will be using within the film, the mask appears as very demonic and supernatural, and our group believed that this was extremely effective in making the receiving audience feel uncomfortable and frightened. We believed specifically the bright red hair, and yellow fanged teeth set the correct tone and image that we wanted for the clown, paranormal and psychotic.

The Green balloon image shows one of the props that we are going to use, This particular prop stands as one of, if not the most important prop that we will be using, the balloon stands as the main gimmick in our trailer, if you see the balloon the clown will not be far away, including in our film's title we are debating on whether to include a balloon  somewhere within the title, to carry on with this gimmick.

The image of the park I inserted at night accurately represents one of the location's that our group have decided will be an effective area to set certain shots of our film, As a location where children tend to hang around, we believe that seeing as a clown is usually known to be a children's entertainer, our clown would most likely be seen in a location such as this. But to give the location a better tone and representation of our genre, we believed that filming at night would be more effective for our genre as horror.

The fourth image I used within the mood board, was a shot of a record player, Throughout our trailer we showed random close up shots of a spinning record player, which we thought successfully built tension within the trailer, going from the majority of our shots being fast paced, then suddenly cutting to a slow paced shot of a record player spinning, we thought productively put our audience's emotions in a rapid pace.

I then inserted an image of three happy, innocent looking teenage girls. This is due to the fact that our group wan ted the girls to come across as the average day to day teenager, who was mercilessly being stalked and attacked by a psychotic killer clown. But we believed that in order to conform correctly to the film's genre, we needed to use some darker tones within their mise e scene, even if its through simple black jeans, as we believe having all lighter colours in their clothing, would connote the wrong type of image.

The last image that I involved within my mood board was the image of the train tracks. This is due to the fact the our group spent a lot of time filming across a bridge that had trains passing underneath it, our group believed it appeared as a dangerous area and would appeal to our antagonist the clown and would be an accurate place to film our clown. The loud noises as the trains pass also built tension well, as the loud abrupt sounds as the train harshly enters would be the right type of sound effect to create a jump/shock scare upon our receiving audience.
