Research & Planning: Moodboard

After settling on David Gibb's song "This Young Boy," we used synesthesia to come up with ideas for the video. Originally we thought of happy themes but after listening to it again we then discovered the darker themes in the lyrics. Almost immediately we knew we wanted to film in a wood and it was then that we came up with the idea of contrasting that of the happy music with that of a darker themed video, and were introduced to The Wickerman (1973). The ending scene of the video was just what we wanted to recreate.

Based on our ideas, we've tried to produce a moodboard that presents the contrast between the light and dark themes.
