4. Mood Board

5. Mood Board Analysis
Is there any repetition in the images you have collected? Repeated colours/images
styles/fonts/tone/mood
• There is a lot of dark colours repeated in those posters mainly black, which relates to the
nature of the songs that the bands sing which are usually very negative and talk about
emotions.
• The posters with the band members in them are all stood dramatically with the lead singers
in the middle at the front which could show the importance of the lead singer to the band.
How will your mood board influence your final product?

6. Informal Proposal
Current Idea

banter and interviews.
Type of

make them
I will need; A Studio – Microphones – Recorders – Headphones – Mixing
Desk –Music to play.
Audience The audience will most likely be people of any age
that like listening to alternative/heavy metal music

7. Choices
Discounted ideas Reasons for not choosing
this project
A Horror Film • The radio project seemed more
appealing and achievable in
contrast to the option of horror
film, this project is more focussed
on audio and has the potential to
be less time consuming.
A Band • The radio project was also a better
option than the band option
because of the fact that I can still
explore metal bands and heavy
metal events such as festivals and
gigs without having to be too
specific to just the music.
