1st Mood-Board- Psychological
Our trailer is a physiological sub-genre based on the antagonist who becomes possessed by a demon which she had summons , hence why 'the exorcism' was used for inspiration. The dark grey and black colours are used in the moodboard to convey fear and these colours may be used in the poster and magazine. Paranormal activity was also used due to the similar sub-genre which use different dark colours imncluding the dark blue and black which portray the horror theme in the photo, this may allows beused during the trailer in some captions.
During the process of making this mood-board I did use the following technique such as Magnetic Lasso Tool which help to crop each pictures. Firstly I've used a layer mask which help to manually blend each pictures by rubbing out the corners, this cause the picture to blend as one photo. In secondly I've used the magic eraser tool which helps to remove any background in some areas, helping to only see the main image. Thirdly I've used lowed the opacity making some part in the mood-boards less visuablilty, this include the logo for example which also help it to blend in with the pieces and allows the rest of the pictues in the mood-board to be seen.

2nd Mood-Board- Antagonist
In this mood-board there are different picture of different antagonist who have be possessed by demon or evil spirits. As you can see I've used different iconic characters of what the Antagonist may look like, hence the reason I've used Nell Sweetzer from the last exorism simply because she fit the main role of Ursula and has the same costume and characteristic that will would like are Antagonist to have, however I've also used Hannah from the last possession as she fit the age that we would like the girl to be as she sweet however evil.
Firstly I've used the the character with the white yes and black eyes as this is what are main antagonist may look like and also because it show clearly that she has been possessed by some form of demon or spirits. In addition I've used black and white colour on the picture to give it a more dark effect which set that scary mood-board to make the mood-board more realistic.Secondly I've used the character in the left hand corner as she portrayed the normal characteristic seen in a demonic possession which is express in different physiological films which also makes the mood-board more realistic.

3rd Mood-Board-Protagonist
This mood-board general show different progtagnoise that could be use in the trailer due to features such as there acting ability and looks which fit the role of the protagonist. This is the reason I've used character such as Amy Sedaris from Jenneifer's body because she a scream queen as well as having a scared characteristic that is usually accossate to female which will help build suspense in the trailer.
In this current mood I've use various amount of different character that portray which show what the potential protagonist might look like in are teaser trailer. Firstly I've used a woman on the phone who is screaming because woman are mainly portrayed as protagonist and woman are more known as scream queen so this therefore create a more scary and realistic effect on the mood-board. I've also use a low-key lighting which give the mood-board a more dark visual effect that set the horror and scary mood of the mood board.Secondly I've used a woman holding a weapon who is directly looking at the antagonist because her NVC are scared and worried which is the normal characteristic of a protagonist therefore making the mood-board more realistic. Also I've used black and white colour which give it a darker effect and make it seem more scary.

4th Mood-board- Magazines
This mood is theme focuses on horror magazine layout that might be used, therefore I’ve used several different magazines and form them into a mood-board. Firstly, the first magazine called Screams is a potential idea of what the magazine might look like and how it might be layout in terms of the cover-lines, master-head, images, barcode and selling prices. I’ve used this because and it shows how the magazine maybe layout and also because it has a scream bloody look to it which is what we might use in the magazine.Secondly, the other scream magazine is another potential idea of what it could look like and how it would be structure. I’ve used this picture because it has a violent look to it that’s displayed in a close up of the antagonist which is the kind of shoot we would like to use because it allow the audience to directly see that she has been possessed by her facial features such as eyes, scares, marks , blood.
In this mood-board I’ve used a variety of different Photoshop techniques such as lowing the opacity, fill and using lasso tool, layer mask and paint brush and eraser. Firstly, I’ve used the opacity tool to lower to visibility of the picture which gives it a dark scary effect due to the black background which also helps it to show that it an horror mood-board. Secondly, I’ve used the lasso tool to easily and quickly cut around the edges of the picture and then I’ve used the feather and smooth in refine edge to help smoothen the edges and to help blend and fade the picture into the other pictures. Finally I’ve used the eraser to erase any area that I thought was not need which helps tidy up the mood-board.

5th Mood-board-Costumes
This mood-board theme focuses on different costumes and make –up that the antagonist might possible wear, due the genre being a physiological there are only long white dress which is an convention in most physiological films as they tend to be wearing that.
Firstly the picture in the bottom left hand-corner is a possible costume that we might use in the teaser trailer on the antagonist, firstly I’ve used this because this type of make-up and costume is easily to portray in the actually teaser trailer and also still give that scary possessed look which we are trying to portray to are targeted audience. Secondly, I’ve used a priest costume as this is what the priest costume may possible look like when he comes to cast out the demon/evil spirits. I’ve used this picture because most physiological film teaser trailer tend to wear a priest costume and also because this type of costume is easy to find.
In this Mood-board I’ve used a variety of different tools this includes lasso tool, magnetic lasso tool, layer mask, magic eraser and refine edge. Firstly I’ve used the lasso tool because it helps to easily cut around the corner/edges of pictures and then used refine edge which has helps it to blend in with the demonic symbol. Secondly, I’ve used magnetic lasso to careful and neatly around the edges (which the lasso tool sometimes can’t do) this helps the edges to look neater and less untidy and then used the refine edge to feather the edges to enable it to blend in with the demonic symbol. Finally I’ve then used the magic easier which easily erases any background around the picture helping it to blend easily with the background.

In this I've used different photoshop techniques such as erases remove the current hole into the wall and allow the eye to go through the wall which present a scary effect . I also educe the opacity on the spooky entertainment logo to blend it into the dark grey background look visual effect and I've also used a red paint brush tool to make the eyes look red which present an demonic effect on the mood-board which is the most iconic feature in the trailer due to the fact that it show the tranformation stage of Ursula, hence the reason why i've made it stand out.

This mood-board theme focuses on different possible deaths that might happen to the protagonist in the teaser trailer.Firstly, the picture on the women who’s stuck inside the gates is a possible death that might occur during the teaser trailer and I’ve used this because this type of death is less bloody and usually doesn’t need no weapon which makes it easier to do in the real teaser trailer.Secondly, the second picture of the women whose eyes are open and is dead is a possible deaths that might possibly happen in the teaser trailer and I’ve chosen this picture because it an easy possible death that can easily be portray in the trailer.

I’ve used this picture because it gives any accurate image of what the shot of the location might look like in the teaser trailer.Secondly, I’ve used the picture of the toilet door as this is what another important location in the teaser trailer as this is where she will get possessed as this is where she draws the demonic symbols with her blood.

Also this props blend in well with other picture in the mood-board and fit in well with the physiological genre because mirror are mainly used in horror film to see evil spirits or demon. In this picture I've used lasso tool and eraser to blend and erase some areas which have help it to fit and blend into with the other picture in the mood-board. Secondly in the center on the circle I've used a Jesus cross with is a prop that might be used in the teaser trailer, I've used this picture because this is a prop that will separate Ursula from the demon or evil spirit also due to the fact that crosses are mainly used in all type of genre of horror films.
