Lily: She is a character that has always been very silent. She keeps to herself but is very obvious about her interests which are displayed through her mis-en-scene. She wears a lot of black. Her choice in color represents the mood that she always displays, a dark introverted mood. This colour later becomes even more appropriate as she becomes possessed and represents evil.
|
Susan: She is the type of innocent and very stereotypical girl. She wears a lot of pink even to the point of having pink hair. She is meant to embody a sort of naive innocence that can only be achieved with the use of this colour in all her mis-en-scene. She indulges in expensive pleasures such as designer bags, clothes and lots of make-up. She would be played by an actress such as Emma Watson.
|
The Priest: A character which is denoted in religious clothing. It's this religious clothing that denotes the hope which is eventually reached in the resolution. It's through the Priest that the resolution is reached. It's through the use of crosses and visual codes that have the Priest connoted as the savior.

Locations: We chose to use a church and small room with a mirror as our main locations in the trailer. The church is appropriate as it is a place of symbolism and religious sanctity, however the church will be run down and due to it's spiritual connotation becomes appropriate for horror in lowkey lighting as it gives the feeling of an ever-looming presence.
|
Sub-Genre: Supernatural is our chosen sub-genre. It isn't known for it's gore but as a horror film can still have some depending on what the story, director or film maker requires. A main theme in supernatural films is possession. This is why we have used the quintessential example of this in Reagan from The Exorcist. The other images use symbols which connote symbolic codes which are very important in a supernatural. Often characters are given powers that are not of this world like in Carrie
|
Film: This is the overall moodboard for our movie. It sums up the concept for our film in it's entirety. Here we have more examples for designs of our characters. In the bottom left we have an example of one our scenes where Lily is being baptized and it goes horribly wrong developing into a horror scene. We have the spell book which will initiate a supernatural sub genre stock scene for possession. We have a crucifix which can be seen as part of the logo for the movie and will be used many times throughout our trailer to connote symbolic codes
