Mood Boards

Mood Boards are boards containing  images, text, objects of the same mood e.g. Horror would show dark colours, dark images. Anything relevant to the mood of genre, can be put on a mood board. I have found a good example, which shoes different sections of all genres, with related images & texts. A genre is a category of the same elements and conventions. It is vital the genre comes across to the audience, so they know what genre of film they're going to watch. Everyone has different taste in genre, therefore there cannot be false advertisement, for example if someone enjoys comedy but they find there is violence, that wasn't the film they payed to watch or buy. Genres can get multiple & slightly confusing, therefore Directors have created sub-genres, for example a 'romantic comedy' 'chick flicks', 'fantasy', which would be mixture of two genres, so involving elements from different genres; for example, romance & comedy combined. This mood board shows film genres & sub-genres. These are also other moodboards with a simple genres.
I have starterd my moodboard by getting images of google of thriller posters. I'm also going to add texts/images from magazines/newspapers.
This is my Moodboard for my Movie Poster with the genre 'Thriller'.
