a mood board of our planning

1. Our Mood Board

3. Reasons for our choices
For the female antagonist who we want the audience to
identify with, we wanted to illustrate a strong sense of femme
fatale. We thought that the red lipstick and nails, together with
the stiletto shoes would portray this well. We took a lot of
inspiration from the main characters of ‘Salt’ and ‘Syrup’ as
these films convey a dominant female character in the way that
we aim to achieve. We also wanted to have a male protagonist
who would fit more with the conventions of a crime thriller
film, for instance looking slightly scruffy. An example of this
would be Brad Pitt’s character in ‘Se7en’. The contrast of
props between the male and female is deliberate and we
wanted to show a high level of glamour, sophistication and
class in regards to the female antagonist. For the male
protagonist, we wanted to connote the idea of more of a basic
standard of living who doesn’t look after himself.
