Horror trailer mood board





For my groups horror trailer mood board, I have put together a collection of images that represents our initial intentions for our psychological horror using different screen shots from films already produced.

Basing our film on the idea of three girls living in a psychiatric hospital, I have included an image from the supernatural film "Grave encounters" that depicts the idea of a female who has been possessed. Linking this with our trailer, my group and I plan on creating the illusion that two psychiatric patients begin to see the ghost of a patient who previously lived in the hospital, resulting in them becoming insane and erratic.   

Due to the antagonist in our trailer previously being in the psychiatric hospital, we made  the character have evident characteristics and use a motif that will be remembered. For this, we came up with the idea of the patient designing a sack mask and wearing it in multiple shots to emphasise the characters psychotic persona. To illustrate the importance of this aspect within our trailer, I included shots from "The Orphanage", "Texas Chainsaw massacre" and "Friday the 13th". 

Seeing the antagonist before she dies means that in our trailer, we will be portraying her as psychologically unhealthy. During these clips, we plan to show her sketching out drawings of her fantasies of killing and the design of the mask. In our mood board, I found an image from "The Orphanage" from drawings that the young child drew whilst possessed. 

Having came up with the fact that the antagonist character commits suicide by hanging herself, I have found a clip from "Sinister" that represents a family that were hung on camera. 

All of the other clips that I found for the mood board illustrates the events that occur during the trailer when the other psychiatric patients begin to see the ghost of the other. These events will be made to be frightening for the spectator and will include jump scares and collision cutting from quiet music to loud music and slow action to fast.
