Mood Board


This is our mood board we created to research the themes expressed in our film and give a visual representation of what our film represents. We used 'Empire' magazine and printed pictures to compile the mood board on an A3 piece of paper. There are several pictures of cards and chips which our links to one of our films main themes - gambling. The IVF treatment link is shown through one of our pictures and again represents one of the central themes in our film. The other pictures and quotes have more subtle implications for example the text 'In a lonely place' indicating our characters isolation not only at the poker table as an in-experienced gambler but also as someone who has the world against him - unable to conceive a child). The men in suits, alcohol and briefcase full of money indicates the typical things most audiences associate with poker/gambling films. Several war photographs are necessary to establish our characters past as a soldier in Afghanistan. I found this task very helpful to inspire new ideas, enrich my knowledge of the similar genres and also give a near visual representation of our film idea.
