Oliver Toone is developing initial ideas for a short horror film as his final major project. The mood board contains images from other horror movies that will inspire settings, atmospheres, and character types for his own film. It also shows different camera angles commonly used in horror films, including close-ups to convey fear, long shots to show surrounding areas, point-of-view shots to involve the viewer, and high angles to reveal unseen events.

Final Major Project Initial Ideas
Mood Boards

2. Short Film - Horror
• In the mood board that you about to look at you will see all the relevant images
towards a short film based on horror.
• There will be images that are from other horror movies that will inspire me to get
good ideas for my final major project.
• It will have the different settings that are good towards a horror film, the
atmosphere and what the characters will need to be like to achieve a good short
film.
• The camera angles that are shown in the last slide are all good for the genre of the
short movie I would like to do. Close up angles are good because they can really
show the fear that is supposed to be expressed in the film. Also long shots are
good because you don’t also see what's happening with the main characters but
you can see what's going on in the surrounding area. Also there is a good camera
angle that’s used in a lot of modern day horror films which is ‘point of view’ this is
good because its like you can see what the person holding the camera is seeing, so
you feel like your in there position. And finally the high angle camera shot, when
you use this shot you normally expect to see something in a room whist the main
characters are asleep or not in the room, this is a good opportunity to see what
the villain/monster is doing.
