Character Mood Board Analysis:
From this mood board I have learnt that there are many techniques used in all these characters pictures to connote evil and to scare people. The first most obvious technique is that all the characters eyes have been made very wide and distorted, this removes the characters personality making it very hard to know what the character is thinking, we interpret the unknown as a threat and therefore the characters are scary. Much like the locations, the characters have a blue or red tint to them; this connotes the cold for blue and anger for red. The characters are in uncomfortable poses often an aggressive stance which creates discomfort in the viewer. The use of unpleasant things such as damp and dirt are also used to put the viewer on edge and make them feel uncomfortable. Another technique used here is to make the camera shot cantered, this gives a sense of unease in the picture and connotes a feeling of no control. When I set out to create horror characters I will look at trying to distort their eyes and making them dirty, I will also make sure there pose is awkward and threatening.
