This mood board relates to the action genre for the creator's short film by including common action movie scenes and settings. It includes scenes like fights, gun fights, car chases, explosions, romance, and death. These scenes are typical of action movies and would make the story more interesting. The mood board also includes settings like a bank, virtual reality, large buildings, forests, and Chinatown that could be locations for action in the film. Different shots like bird's eye views, wide shots, close ups, and low angles are chosen for inspiration because they could be used to film specific scenes like openings, conversations, kidnappings, and characters falling.

10. Why do these mood boards relate to
the action genre for my short film?
• Fight scene this is were people are hitting one another for reason into the plot, you’d expect to see fight
scenes in action because I’d say that’s what you came to watch it makes the story more interesting if there
is two guy scraping it.
• Gun fight scene were you see people using weaponry instead of fists, It’s iconic to see gun fights in films its
almost like fight scene but more people are in them, you could say that the people shooting first you could
say are the antagonist because the protagonists are not killers(if that was the story).
• Car chases are were cars are going fast down a road faster than the speed limit, you would also expect to
scenes in action due to the protagonist being chased either to escape or catching someone who he was
looking for, it gives you a thrill an exciting to watch.
• An explosion scene is where a building or structure is destroyed causing an explosion and loud sounds.,
there is always someone wanted to blow up something either sending a message or trying to get rid of
something this is iconic in a action film because they make the film more visual because the sound and the
visual look amazing when happening.
• There is always a women in trouble and the protagonist saves her making her fluster with enjoyment, this
leads to them having a romantic kiss because of the experience that they’ve experience you’d expect to
see this in most action films because its iconic to see a women who Is saved by the protagonist.
• Then we have death scenes, either were the protagonist dies or civilians die even the villain, you would
expect to see this after the scenes I’ve described such as the gun fight and explosion scenes just because
in some stories the protagonist’s friend is killed by the antagonist which helps him become stronger and to
be a better person this would relate because someone the protagonist knows mostly always dies.
• Finally there is parkour scenes this would be similar to car chase but on foot you’d could relate to this just
because it is different from car chases more intense when running on roofs to catch the foe.

11. Setting

12. Why did I choose these setting for
inspiration?
• The different settings are: Bank, Virtual reality, large
building, a forest and a Chinatown like place.
These were some of the places that I had an idea from, a
lot of stuff can happen in each world they all can relate to
action because you could associate Chinatown with the
triad, in one of the movie they could be the main crime
bosses in the film, or even if it was the building the Ceo of
the company or whoever is at top of building the
protagonist would have to reach them, for the
woods/forest I’d see that they had to survive in the tough
environment.

13. Shots

14. Why did I choose these shots for
inspiration?
• The different shots that I choose were; Bird’s eye view, wide shot,
close up, over the shoulder, point of view and the last one was a
low angle shot. These shots I would probably take in my short film
because for the opening I would want a opening where it shows the
location on where we are at. Then there is the wide shot, I’d say I
would do this where the characters are looking off somewhere and
it shows the landscape behind them, then you have a close up I
would combine this for the point of view shot because I’d do like a
kidnapping scene where the protagonist is been captured and it
shows the person in point of view shot but then a wide shot like the
example shot then there is the other the shoulder shot I would just
use this for conversations with the characters then finally the low
angle I would use this when one of the main characters have fallen
and the bad guys are looking over him which would then use the
low angle shot.
