Thriller Moodboard.

Thriller Mood Board.

I put a picute of, Micheal Myers and Hannibal Lecter on here because they are stereotypical killers of a thriller. I used a picture of someone being stalked because in most thriller films, somebody is stalked or followed. I put a photo of someone breaking in on the mood board, because they often break into houses, especially in quiet unsuspecting suburbs. I put a photo of the film "Black Swan" and "The Strangers" on there because they are thrillers. And the V for Vendetta Mask and the Code, because there is often mystery in a thriller.

Horror Moodboard.

Horror Mood Board

I chose pictures of Dracula and Frankenstein as they are traditional, horror monsters. I put a picture of Damien and 666 on ther because it is stereotypical to have a possesed child, or something influence3d by the devil in them. I put a picture of Jack from the Shining on there, because Stanley Kubrick really broke the mould, when he produced the film version of Stephen King's horror novel. I put a picture of the grim reaper and the scream mask on it because in horror's, the killer is often cloaked and masked. I put a picture of a ghost on there aswell.

180 Degree Rule.

The 180° rule is a guideline in film making that states that two actors of objects can only be filmed from one side, and not cross over the imaginary axis, which would be breaking the 180 degree rule.

It has been used by legendary directors like Stanley Kubrick and Hitchcock.

Rom - Com Mood Board

Rom Com Mood Board.

The picture of the musisc notes is because Rom Com's usually have iconic soundtracks, compiled or mainly chart music. The pictures of the flowers, the romantic dinner,and the wine are all traditional aspects of the Rom Com. I chose pictures of Colin Firth, Keira Knightley and Jennifer Aniston, because in a Rom Com, usually has a love triangle in it, with a male and two different women, usually one from England and one from America. I chose the laughing face because Rom Com's are usually funny. The picture of London and the Train are stereotypical of Rom Coms because a lot of major scenes of a Rom Com are shot on trains or train stations and set in London, because the setting is romantic.
