Mood Board for Music Video.

By creating this mood board, we have allowed ourselves an insight to the bigger picture of our music video. We wanted to take some themes we listed in our ideas, both obvious and not so obvious, and put them all together. As evident in the pictures, our mood board consists of ideas that we have gathered from our research: the mask is the idea that we cannot trust strangers as well as the idea that Alice from Alice in Wonderland is not the character society believes she is behind her mask of innocence. We have also incorporated some original pictures from the book by Lewis Carol which adds quite a retro and original feature. We have mixed a floral print with chequered prints which highlights the quite random feel we want to create within our video. The mood board, overall, represents the idea that we want to combine a range of different and sometimes contrasting features to create the intended surrealist outcome.

By using pictures from the original book (1800's), Disney's Alice in Wonderland (1951) and Tim Burtons Alice in Wonderland (2010), we have gained inspiration for one of our main shots within our music video. We plan to have Alice walking through the woods as the running thread throughout the video, however we are going to treat it as if it is a 'journey through time'. We will change her clothing and perhaps even alter the look of the camera shots with the use of editing such as black and white or sepia tint to create a sense of what era she is in. By the end of the video, her shoes will be scruffy and tired-looking as if she hasnt stopped walking. Most of the video we feel is going to be open to interpretation, we want it to be open-ended and not have everything explained, as I feel this allows more creativity to be used.
