Toms Mood Board

When constructing my mood board i took into account the basic song lyrics; Before the worst, therefore subdividing the page into two halves, which i thought was relevant. Starting on the top half, the colours are bright, vivid and have general connotations of happiness, and the overall mood is a positive one. All of the images in the mood board bear some significance, for example, the red rose outline over the word "before" implicitly refers to the past relationship being sung about. The overly saturated image of the beach could play a part in the video also, as it sunny and symbolic of good times. The hands also anchor the lyrics of the song, and the guitar; dominant throughout the track. The mood dramatically changes though, the explicit lyrics of the track; the ones which have most meaning, allows the audience to recognize the reality of the song itself. The falling hearts are symbolic of his 'love' which has evidently drifted away, the underlying theme throughout many of The Script's work. i have also included a number of contextual more iconic images including a filtered image of London, representing the lonly aspect of the busy capital, as well as another beach shot. But instead of a 'happy' beach it is a lot more miserable as it is desaturated and has a greeny grey wash over it. the spotlight has numerous connotations as most of their videos are performance based and this is an aspect we will definatly include in our own video. overall i think this mood board is a good adaptation of many of the scripts lyrics and videos. it has many different readings for all audiences. The themes and ideas generated by Scripts music are all evident in this piece.

  1. Well done - an interesting response. You need to spellcheck here again - also i instead of I? Come on - basic punctuation.
