A variety of mood boards that convey different aspects of music videos

Mood Board analysis 1. Genre- The first of my mood boards shows the genre characteristic's of rock.

The mood boards features rock bands, style and iconography. The pictures of the mood board that I chose, display the key genre characteristics of rock. The main characteristics of rock shown on the mood board is that rock differs from mainstream genres through using darker colours and has themes of rebellion and violence against mainstream society. Rock allows people to be themselves and promotes liberty to the individual.

2. Styling – The second of my mood boards represent the rock genres style through showing fashion trends, hairstyle and makeup. The fashion shown in the moodboard generally consist of dark, worn clothing which gives the rock style a distinctive look. For example people that follow the rock genre wear stereotypically black leather, ripped jeans, have long hair and have tattoos. Females wear extensive amounts of eye makeup to enhance the depth of their eyes and stand out from the crowd.

3. Mise en Scene – The third mood board displays the mise en scene of what rock stars use in their music videos and when performing live. From this mood board it is highly recognisable that dark settings are used with low key lighting to create a dreary and depressing mood and atmosphere at the start of the song or throughout. However when the music reaches its climax high key lighting is used to represent the now more up beat mood that is being created through the use of heavy drumming, guitar strings and vocals by the artists. This creates an excitable and thrilling mood and atmosphere.

4. Logos- The Fourth mood board shows various different rock band logos used for marketing. Audiences recognise a band or artists motif or logo which helps to increase sales of the artist. This mood board is useful as it will help my research and planning when building my band identity which works alongside rock genre characteristics, style and mise en scene.
