Mood Board

This is our mood board it's nothing amazing, but we found it a bit hard to express what we're trying to get across with photos of the web.

The sort of feel we're trying to capture in our opening sequence is almost two-fold. Firstly we want to try and capture and express the distinct feel that the Fens has, something very close to our hearts as two of the groups numbers are from this area (me and Jamie). This is the feel of great space and emptiness, the Fens is truly the land of the big sky and a landscape quite unlike any other place on Earth (with the possible exception of the Netherlands).As far as I'm concerned the Fens is as big a character in this film/opening as any of the characters. We also wanted the capture a sort of sense of dreaminess that goes with the land and the feeling of dislocation and listlessness, and yearning to escape the characters have. For this sort of feel we drew on the earlier sections of Requiem for a Dream for this sense of Dreaminess, as shown in a couple of these pictures.
The other main feel we were trying to capture is that sense of isolation, dislocation and almost numbness to the modern world that the main characters experience-brilliantly expressed both in the films Garden State and Life in Translation hence it's inclusion here.

(Ashley made an interesting point that although our characters are teenage and Life in Translations are considerably older, they still face the same sort of problems as do people of all ages in real life)
