Mood Board


This is our mood board that we have put together to show all of our inspirations and ideas to do with our thriller film. We decided on the topic of ‘Trafficking’ and have had many inspirations; the main one being the film ‘Taken’ which gave us many stimulations in which we could incorporate into the opening 2 minutes of our thriller.
The pictures of Alice from ‘Alice in Wonderland’, I added because we decided that our film would be called ‘Alice: this is our version of Wonderland’. I added the picture of Alice on her own as we wanted to get across the idea of loneliness and isolation that is felt when women are being trafficked.
Because of the idea that women are ‘sold’ when they are being trafficked, I added a For Sale sign which I think works exceptionally well as a representation. The smaller pictures such as the £10 note and the eye, I added to show that people are paying for the women and the eyes show that the outside world are seeing these things happen but not doing anything to prevent them.
The women who are being used as slaves are seen as puppets. They are blindfolded, gagged and drugged to allow their ‘owners’ to take advantage of their vulnerability. I have added pictures to show these e.g. the advert for ‘stop trafficking’ shows a lady with strings attached to her.
I think the most hard-hitting, scary picture on the board is the one of the girls being shown naked, inside a meat packaging with ‘FRESH MEAT’ written on a sticker on the packaging. This gives us a very good insight on exactly what the women are seen as.
