MOOD BOARD

My mood board for my horror movie creates a creepy, scary atmosphere that uses classic horror elements in a fresh way. It has images of eerie, empty places with dark blue lighting that makes everything feel cold and unsettling. This color gives a feeling of loneliness and fear, which is common in horror movies that aim to keep viewers nervous and alert. The settings include foggy forests, abandoned buildings, and underground tunnels—places where monsters could be hiding just out of sight. Each of these places adds a sense of mystery and fear to my movie’s world, making viewers worry about what might be hiding in the shadows.

The mood board also includes props that add to the suspense and danger in the story. For example, there’s an old lantern that suggests dim, flickering light in the dark, making it hard for the characters to see what’s around them. There’s also an axe, which could be a tool for survival or a dangerous weapon, showing that characters are threatened by both monsters and maybe other people, too. These props aren’t just for decoration; they help create a feeling of urgency and fear in each scene. I’m drawn to these elements because they let me explore themes of fear and survival, which are what I love about the horror genre.

Everything on my mood board shows the style and feeling of a horror movie, using color and design to create a dark, creepy world. The characters wear dark costumes, which blend them into the shadows and make them seem like part of the setting. This choice also creates tension because the characters are often hard to see until they step into the light, possibly facing something dangerous. These elements together make the mood board a great reflection of the horror theme in my movie, capturing the eerie and suspenseful atmosphere I want. It’s the perfect tool to help me keep the tone consistent as I create the story.
