Moodboards

 For this blogpost, I created 4 visual mood boards for 4 different locations!

Intergalactic Mothership: For this mood-board, I wanted to create a celestial setting with futuristic elements. The set would be primarily illuminated by artificial lighting such as LED's, screens, and projectors with cool undertones, but also by the countless stars surrounding the ship. The futuristic technology would create high key lighting and the stars will act as natural lighting. Blue lighting symbolizes stability and tranquility. I decided for the costumes and makeup to resemble extraterrestrials, this adds a sense of wonder and intrigue to the other-worldly design of the overall scene, hopefully captivating the audience. When people see my mood-board, I want them to feel as if they've been transported into another world and as if they were in the mothership themselves. 

Circus: For this board, I decided on a classic circus scene. The set would be lit by soft and warm lights to create lowkey lighting paired with red and gold tones, allowing for a nostalgic and comforting setting. For the props, I added carousels, mirrors, masks, cannons, and popcorn to further establish the classic feeling of this scene. For the costumes, I wanted to focus on the ringleader, using black, red, and white elements in the costume. When all of these elements come together, I want the audience to feel a sense of nostalgia, comfort, and excitement.

Mermaid's Palace: For this board, I wanted to create an aquatic, fairytale-like setting. I decided on  natural lighting and incorporated bright and metallic colors like turquoise, white, metallic and muted pinks, and muted greens to further establish the mythical theme. For the props, I included seashells and pearls to add to the underwater elements. And finally, the costumes and makeup reinforce the mermaid theme, I wanted the makeup and costume to feel ethereal so I included shells and exaggerated elements such as draped pearls and bright, shiny colors. Overall, I intended for my audience to feel immersed and captivated by the magic and fantasy of this scene.

Backstage of a fashion show: This board is one of my more realistic scenes. I wanted to create an atmosphere with bright and high-key lighting while also using more monotone colors like beige, black, and white to express the seriousness and chaos of a backstage setting. The props that I used are mostly just things you would find behind the scenes of a fashion show like makeup brushes, mannequins, measuring tape, and sewing needles with string, I also added racks of sample clothing with shoes. The costumes aren't really highlighted in this board due to the fact that most employees backstage dress the same or have a uniform. Overall, I intended for my audience to get an insight to the fast-paced atmosphere of backstage life and what goes on behind the scenes of a fashion show.
