Moodboard:
As my film will be heavily focused on cinematic, intentional shots including the mise en scene and most importantly the props we see. From this, my moodboard is compiled with examples of movie settings, items and characters that evoke mystery and some sort of terror:

– Knives stacked quite prominently in the background or foreground seem to create a sense of danger and tension, especially if they’re easily accessible as it sometimes makes us question if someone might use one in someway. In the cafe scene (top right), we are shown a contrast between the sharp cutlery and the way the characters are intimately holding hands. The subtle placement of the props and cast can entirely change the feel of a scene; without the knives, it would just appear happy and safe.
– Unsettling imagery through the setting is an element of a film that can push it over the edge of creepy and even become a memorable part of the film, like many of ‘The Shining’ scenes (bottom right). I will be trying to incorporate more thought-out colour palettes as well as looming background elements (such as the door at the end of the hallway and mysterious door to the right).
– A lot of the time. lighting is a huge dependability in thriller movies as the temperature, intensity and source of the light all play a role in creating a specific mood. 
– I also included a few movies’ titles as reference for the fonts and colours that seem to appear scary and set the tone. All of these examples use capital letters a lot and use fonts with sharp edges, some of which are done with serifs.
