Mood Board

Mood Board AnalysisIs there any repetition in the images you have collected? Repeated colours/images styles/fonts/tone/mood• All of them are to do with historical battles both modern and ancient and they therefore

have the same tone of war and conflict. All the images take place around battlefields. The ancient battle scenes have golden glow to them as they are all imagined. The modern battle scenes have a cold hard feel to them as they are taken from actual photographs, lots of them are black and white due to their age adding to this feling. All the images have a dynamic moody feel to them.

How will your mood boards influence your final product?This is the stuff I want to make as this images are my inspiration I want to use the feeling of power and movement in my final product shown in these images. I want to try and merge both old battles and new battles together to give my final product an interesting feel. The only thing that the mood boards and final product have in common is that they are moments in history with a dynamic battle scence feel to them. The final product didn’t use the same colours as the ancient or modern mood board because I wanted a to create something with a different ‘out of time’ feeling to it. The images were very graphic and bold.

ChoicesDiscounted ideas Reasons for not choosing this

projectMy face ‘self Portrait’ • Whilst I first thought this could be a great

idea as I could morph my face and put myself in some interesting situations I thought that the idea behind my final project was far more interesting to me personally.

Celebrities • I had though about getting famous people and making strange famous couplings or getting them to do everyday tasks which could have been funny and poke fun at the ‘culture of celebrity’ I felt that it was an interesting idea but also not as powerful as the ‘war never changes message’.
