Moodboard

In the follow up to the making of my music video, I decided to create a moodboard that could express my thoughts visually. Using images I collected from Tumblr, as well as my own photographs, I arranged a variety of inspirational views, words, and symbols that link to my music video narrative - travel. Furthermore, I included a copy of the lyrics from my chosen song 'Lonely Road' by Emma Lauran, taking lines such as "see the world" and "make a new adventure" to emphasise my journeying theme, featuring them around my moodboard. Once completed, I presented the board and talked about some of my ideas to the class in order to obtain some initial feedback.

 Feedback/Comments:

"I think your images show a theme which is really linked to the song's lyrics."

"You explained a clear narrative."

"The images are bold and give a clear feel of your music video."

"It's clear you've thought about your narrative really well and made sure that there is an on-going mood."

"Apart from the lyrics, there is no real narrative on the mood board."

From these constructive comments I have received, I now know that I need to focus on presenting my narrative. Although this is something I am sure of in my head, it is important that I begin to present these ideas surrounding the story of my music video by carefully planning and constructing a storyboard. By doing this it will be considerably easier to work from and develop my music video plans as I can refer to my chosen narrative throughout which is subject to change and improve. Overall, I am pleased with how my moodboard turned out as it presents the main themes of travel and aspiration that I would love to portray, as well as some inspirational images that I can use for compositional ideas.
