Task 2.2: Genre Analysis

Mood Boards
-A mood board is a type of poster design that may consist of images, text and samples of objects in a composition of the choice of the mood board creator.
-Designers use mood boards to develop their design concepts and communicate to other members of the design team.
-Used often by graphic designers to enable a person to illustrate the direction of style.

Horror Mood Board:

Horror is one of the easiest film genres to define, with it's stereotypical connection with darkness and basic fears. In my mood board I have included several factors which I consider most recognisable:
- Blood
- Childhood fears
- Darkness
- Ghosts/ Supernatural
- Graveyards
- Haunted Houses
- Threatening villain

Rom-Com Board:

Romantic Comedies are another film genre which can be identified easily through their uses of specific characterisations. In my mood board I have included:
- Love
- Typical Rom-Com actors/actresses e.g Jennifer Aniston and Colin Firth
- Humour
- Capital City Setting
- Marriage
- Fine Dining
- Kiss/ Embrace

Thriller Board:

The thriller genre is the hardest to distinguish out of our three selections. However, its characteristics can be identified through certain elements, in my mood board I have included:
- A Femme-Fatale
- Back Alley dealings
- Criminals
- Weapons
- Detectives
- Sleazy areas
- Forthcoming Danger
