Thriller Preparation – Moodboard

In this task I had to create a moodboard for our thriller opening.

I had the idea that there could be a room filled with pictures of previous victims and a man that is trying to find someone.

Since we have pitched our ideas to each other we have chosen this idea but have expanded on it. So that there is an antagonist watching the protagonist via CCTV.

For the thriller I will be working with Ewan and Lauren.

Our actors will be Ellie Alvarez, Louise Trimbee and Morgan Price.

The idea I had for our thriller was that there would be a man who’s wife has gone missing. A location is sent to him and he goes to it in the hope of finding his wife, but finds himself staring at a massive wall of murdered dead people in what seems to be a layer of sorts. Whilst observing the picture covered wall he spots a picture that was originally of him and his wife but it has been ripped in half to only show his wife. At this point he begins to frantically look around the fort in hope of finding and rescuing his wife. However, the whole time there is someone watching him go around the fort through previously placed CCTV cameras. He finally ends up going into a room which he hears screams coming from. The door shuts and locks and he becomes trapped.

This is Ewan’s moodboard, to open click the image above.

Ewan’s idea was about a man that discovered an abandoned fort of which he entered and explored by torch light. After a while of looking around he stumbles upon something that is unknown to the viewer. At this point the titles would come in and the movie would start.

This s Lauren’s moodboard, to look at if click the image above.

Lauren’s idea was about a hooded figure that murdered someone and left them in a place that has a no entry sign. However, later on the protagonist goes around the place and and discovers the dead body and an investigation commences whilst the the antagonist (the hooded figure) keeps a close eye on them and their investigation the whole time.
