Mood Boards - HOALIE

WEAPONS
This is the mood board I have created for the possible weapons for the clown could use in the trailer.

Every killer in a horror movie will have a notorious weapon which is memorable to the audience and will be associated with him. Here are the possible weapons we could use for the trailer, it involves a grungy and rusty metal tool that is very frightening. We wanted to use an everyday tool so that it looks more realistic and have a possibility of it happening in real life so it gives the audience a more frightening experience.

VICTIM
This is a mood board I have created for the victim of what she will wear and how she is represented in our film trailer.

Here are a few samples of what we imagine our victim to look like and wear. As a common convention of horror films, the main girl is usually the one who doesn't drink, take drugs or have sex, the characters that actually do these things are the one that gets killed my the killer first. The main girl is the one that survives until the end who escapes from the killer or kills him, but the killer always mysteriously survives. 

The main girl is usually a white female in horror films. So we have also decided to use a white teenage female for our teaser trailer. We want to make her look like a normal teenage girl so we are going to have her wear causal clothes such as plain jeans and a plain top/vest.

KLOWNS
This is a mood board I have created for the ideas we have of what the clown could look like in our film trailer.

Here is a mood board of the various type of clown styles we could use for our clown. After looking at them, we have decided to use make-up for our clown as it gives off a scarier feeling. Using a mask is too typical for horror films, film such as Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street, Scream and Friday the 13th all use masks for the killer. We feel that by using make-up for our clown it would make our killer different from the others and the fact that there isn't much clowns used as a killer in horror films, ours will stand out.
