This is my initial mood board for this project, its a collection of images that I have liked/found interesting from my initial research into the gothic/horror genre. These are a few ideas that caught my attention:
- Facial features being covered or obscured - this effective because it is uncomfortable to look at something that is heaving distorted or even not there, I particularly think that covering the eyes is unsettling to look at because that's where you mainly look when you're engaging with someone and a lot of expression is shown in the eyes so when that is taken away it makes it you feel uneasy.
- Using alternative materials - This looks good because for example when you first at the top right photo you just see a big blood splatter but at on closer inspection you see that its actually a blood splatter covered in red jewels so it adds another dimension to the look.
- Wrapping/entrapment - its uncomfortable to see someone else struggling to move/be restricted because it kind of makes you think about how horrible it would be to that position yourself.
- Dripping - its a bit of a classic horror technique because it can look so effective, it might also be interesting to use some other colour/paint rather than blood too.
- Unexpected elements - like facial hair on women (as pictured) is just generally weird to look at.
