Mood Board 2

This Mood Board; just like my other ones, shows different horror pictures and text. The images are to give the viewer something to look at, for example the arm with the eye in the hand. Nobody has an eye in their hand so it makes the viewer want to know more about this image as it looks realistic and creepy. This goes the same for the woman whose face is on fire. You want to know why her face is on fire and why is she just standing there. It makes you feel emotion for her as you see her facial expressions of shock and terror as she is screaming; when you look at the image you picture yourself in her shoes and you can imagine the pain that she would be in. This picture is not something very pleasant to look at and so a different type of horror is create; not fear but emotional terror. The girl with the doll has a grunge style to it as she is wearing dark makeup and has a soulless stare on her face, the way she is positioned is though she is staring at you in wonder and this can create fear in some people as she looks as though she is possessed or not herself.  The doll in front of her is rotten and looks old and not cared for anymore with can link into the mise en scene of the image; this can also creates a creepy look to the overall image. The picture of the face with the cracks engraved onto it was created by me for my GCSE Art Exam; I wanted to create a scary looking person that looks like the dead. By using the cracks the woman looks not human and then adding the effect of the eyes makes the woman look like a demon or something from the supernatural. By thinking this a person could create the sense of fear as this kind of supernatural is not meant to be true.

The fonts used are unusual; they look destroyed and distorted that would make a horror poster look interesting to view. The ‘Killer’ font reminds me of the ‘white noise’ you get when ghosts try to contact you through the TV or an electrical item that goes all static; this could link into a ghost film or something that could create static.

Again, I made the paper have the rusty colour and texture change to give off the creepy feel; which I explained on my first mood board. However, instead of just using a blood splatter added on as an effect, I put a bloody hand print on the paper to show panic and distress. Sometimes you can watch a horror movie and you see hand prints over the walls or in zombie movies, a zombie would bang on the window and leave a bloody hand print on the glass. I took this effect and created it on my mood board to express horror and to link my mood board with different horror movies.
