Location Mood Board Analysis:
From this mood board I have learnt that darkness is very important in creating an ominous atmosphere in a location. In nearly all of the pictures darkness is used along with a high contrast which connotes a sense of evil, portraying whatever objects are in the picture in an evil light therefore giving the location a scary feel. For example if a grave was shown in a bright picture with flowers on it, it would be interpreted differently from if it was shown in darkness. In many of the pictures the colour is washed out and they have a red or blue tint to them. The ones with a blue tint feel very cold and evil whereas the ones with a red tint have a sense of evil or anger to them. One thing which instantly sets of connotations of evil in all these locations is iconography. The use of gravestones and misty woodland is particularly effective but even the general mess shown in some of the locations sets of connotations. So when I set out to find locations for my coursework I will look for deserted locations preferably slightly messy with an ominous feel to them. Then after shooting I would decrease the brightness and increase the contrast and maybe put a colour filter over the top in editing to really make the location feel scary.

George - both of these moodboards are very useful. You now need to add some analysis to these posts - what did you gain from doing these? Summarise using words like location, iconography, mise-en-scene, connotes... etc
much better - NB 'Canted angle'
