Justification of mood board
For the moodboard we chose pictures of lightning, which could be used as background images if we shoot on a green screen, or plain background. We used this because it reflects the genre of thrash metal very well and is used in many other thrash metal bands album covers.
We also chose pictures of a graveyard which fits with the genre of thrash metal as a location as thrash metal usually reflects the almost gothic styling that is shown in a graveyard. This picture is also animated which reflects the thrash metal genre as most thrash metal album covers contains/depict artwork that is cartoon like and in some ways reflects the band and the album. This image of a graveyard suits this genre very well as it follows the ideas shown in thrash metal music, which often revolve around death.
An image we found that shows a girl with writing on her face represents our idea of having the album title written on the artist’s cheek. This is a more interesting way to show the name of the album, as opposed to just printing it on the cover.
The font displayed in our moodboard shows a possible band name and the type of font that is used in other thrash metal album covers. It is very spiky and aggressive which suits the genre perfectly.
We have also shown in the moodboard a range of different colours that could be used for the image in the advert. All of these colours are dark shades and dull, as vibrant and bright colours do not suit the genre due to the almost gothic tradition that it follows. We have chosen dark green, dark blood red, a dull orange and of course black.
We have also chosen a picture of a snake. This was just an idea as snakes often represent death related qualities.
