Mood Boards

I've made two mood boards for my core idea.

As a reminder of the written treatments:

1) Determined to find something that is inexplicably lost.

2) Searching. Inexplicable. Relatable.

My first mood board was quite difficult for me. I believe it's quite hard to create an atmosphere and 'feel' for a story that is humorous. It's much easier - I  think - to create a mood board for a serious topic.

However here is the first one:

I wanted to show elements of searching for something and fortunately I was able to find some extreme images of people in comical poses (head in bin/washing machine/under bed); depicting this notion.

In order to show emotion of frustration and confusion I chose strong expressions that again were quite extreme and emitted humour.

My idea of the environment and colour scheme is bright, clean, ordered and neutral. I have the idea that there's a contrast of tidiness to chaos in finding the 'Odd Sock'. 

I imagine neutral pastel colours with a splash of bright colours for the main items of clothing i.e. sock.

The second mood board had to portray the core idea in a total antithesis of my original one.

I found this one somewhat easier - although turning my idea upside-down initially was quite hard.

Obvious opposites: bright, light-hearted, modern flat = dark, serious, grand house.

I thought about what could be lost that was much more serious and where the audience could still be empathetic. I thought a woman losing her baby on a foggy night.

The main image here is of the empty cot to represent the missing baby.The desperation and confusion is evident through the images of women and their body language and expression. It is dark at night with fog to show a sense of entrapment and further lack of clarity.

The colour palate lacks saturation and is quite dark except for a pale beige.
