Moodboard

This is my mood board that I created for my music video project. The song that was chosen for the music video was Balaclava by the Arctic Monkeys. I listened to the song in order to gain ideas for the mood board. After listening to the song i felt that it had quite a rebellious feel and with Arctic Monkeys being a British band the first place I looked for idea was the film This Is England. Having already seen This Is England I knew roughly what sort of look the characters had so I got a picture, the one I used is in the top left hand corner. I also felt the song had quite a retro British feel this is represented by the use of pictures of Mod's and also the use of the Mod logo, I have also used a picture from the video Wonderwall by Oasis as I feel that Oasis are a similar band to Arctic Monkeys so we can gain ideas from some of their videos. The song also has quite a violent feel and this is represented in the mood board by pictures of violence. The pictures I used were from the 2009 film The Firm, the reason I used these images is because it has a retro feel as can be seen by clothing that the characters are wearing. Continuing on the violence theme I put some images of the Brixton riots that happened in 1981 again this uses the retro theme as I feel it fits well with the song. I also put some quotes in there to signify what the song represents
