Mood board and analysis


For our mood board, the inspiration was from artists/bands such as Ben Howard, The Neighbourhood and Tom O’Dell and what has been featured in their music videos. We also gained inspiration from what we both love as individuals that we’d like to be included in our music videos, such as tattooed men and women who are dressed in the stereotypical way of indie/rock/acoustic singers, idyllic sceneries and natural props and lighting. All of this we gained by searching for pictures on Tumblr.
For our music video, we want our theme to be vintage/indie/bohemian. Our mood board represents this as we have examples of what we’d like our actors to look like (tattooed, 1950’s dress sense) and we also have examples of where we’d like to film it; in a natural setting, maybe a woodland or a beach to incorporate the indie side of our theme.
Our colour scheme consists of mostly natural, earthy colours to reinforce the organic, acoustic sound of the song we’ve chosen. For costumes Alysia and I have decided to stick to mostly dark colours, so it contrasts with the bright lighting with natural looking surroundings.
The most significant picture on our board is of the artist himself, and it is placed in the centre of our mood board. The reason for this is because we want to keep in mind that the song we’re using is his song, and we want to represent it how he would have done as an acoustic artist.
To improve, I’d spend more time planning my mood board and how it is relevant to our music video instead of just picking things that we think look nice.

  1. Your moodboard turned out very well as it represents your band and the style you are aiming for. Next, could you explore one of the quotation choices you have used and explain what impact this will have on your story boards.
