MOOD BOARD OF INSPIRATIONAL SHOTS

FROM CHOSEN SUB GENRE

The psychosomatic thriller

This image represents a female character who looks terrified. One reason this low angle close up inspired me, is because the

audience can clearly see the characters facial expression. This makes the audience feel more sympathy towards the female

character and scared for her as well. Moreover, one way tension is constructed is through the facial expression of the victim. Also, the characters eye are looking at someone and that is the reason she is screaming, this gasp the audience attention because they want to know what it is that’s making here scream; therefore at this point the tension is rising and the audience attention is “in the hands of

the director”.

This image represents a room. It is a high angle medium shot. One reason this image inspired me is because there is a over view of how the room looks, therefore, the audience

can see each and every prompts making them question themselves “what happened here?” “Why is this room so messy”. The medium shot sets the atmosphere of how the

audience should feel and build tension. Moreover, the room looks messy and looks as though no one is living

there. This builds suspense because it makes them think what happened here and therefore, grabs their attention, encouraging them to want to watch more. The fact that

there is blood on the wall also builds tension for the audience by making them raise question for example, “who

did that”.
