Mood Board Evaluations

There is 3 different mood boards that I will evaluate, describing strengths and weaknesses of these mood boards and help me consider things for my mood board and create the best one i possibly can, using the strength ideas from their mood boards and making sure I successfully overcome the weaknesses that they had.

This mood board was completed online through the use of a video log. An advantage of this is that he is able to explain different parts of the mood board at his own pace and at the correct points. Therefore, he is able to relate to specific parts of the mood boards at different points, where as in the other mood boards that have been created through text, they have to refer to their mood board as a whole or it's less clear for the audience to see what part of the mood board they are referring to.

However, a disadvantage of this mood board is that he has a lack of depth in his explanation even though there is a high volume of explanation during his mood board presentation. This may be a disadvantage of using a v-log to explain his mood board as he may miss in-depth points that when writing in text you would be able to explain fully.

This mood board explains/shows the location of which the film will be set and the main conventions of their film genre/sub-genre that there film is based upon through the use of photos/image. A disadvantage of the explanation being through text instead of through a v-log is that she is unable to relate to specific points of her mood boards

However, the text used to describe the mood board I feel lacks a bit of depth, especially about how their own film will relate to that and match the conventions of the typical film that there genre is. Also she could include information about why she included these specific images in her mood board and what they mean to her film opening.

In this mood board, she explains it very well and links how the conventions of her genre will link towards her film opening. Furthermore, she has linked an example of an opening scene to explain her idea fully and back up the points she has explained, showing the audience of her ideas used. During the analysis of this mood board she also refers to stereotypical conventions such as "We have chosen this gender as stereotypically women are the more vulnerable sex."

On the other hand, her mood board that she has produced is all focused on one aspect and doesn't describe things such as the typical location of her opening film or the typical location genre conventions of her opening film.

In conclusion, all three of these mood boards and their explanations could be improved on in some way. This could be because of the approach they used or the detail they included, therefore for my mood board i will ensure that I don't create the same weaknesses I have identified in these that I have analysed. Also I will try and complete the same strengths as these, being specific to my film opening.
