MoodBoard

I chose these types of settings because from watching action/thriller film openings these were the most common settings they had. For example the Dark Knight the opening to that is in the city and an office/bank.

The makeup that I wanted was quite dark eyes so they looked serious, also if you see most spy movie they have got dark eyes as well. For example on the poster Salt the actress has got dark eyes to make her look quite mysterious, also it looks quite intriguing. The blood is up there because normally in action/thriller films there is also a fight scene and one of the characters always gets hurts so the blood is to show that they are in pain and the fighting is realistic.  

The types of actors that I have chosen to put on the mood board are actors that have all been in an action/thriller. Something that they all have in common is that they are all men; I think is because it’s usually the men that are the heroes and the women that are the “damsel in distress” This is why for my film opening I would like to have the lead role to be a women so it’s not the same as the other films.

The props on the mood board are very classic action/thriller. From all of the film openings that I have studied so far they have all included a gun, which I think out of all the props I have on their makes it the most important genre significance.

The costumes that I have included are mainly linked to the type of character that we are basing my film opening around. I am doing a spy film, which means that the costumes link in with the theme because the main clothing is black, but it’s quite stylish because spies look good with what they are wearing. Also they normally wear sun glass to hide their identity.   

The lighting that I have chosen to put on is very dark and mysterious. The surroundings are dark and have some light on the actors face to so their facial expressions but also it makes them look quite eerie.
