I am glad you guys stopped by once again and let us get this show on the road!
Today, I will be demonstrating the mood board I made for our final project:

Furthermore, the way MC gets kidnapped is when the guy suggests them meet up somewhere outside for the first time which she agrees to as she has never seen his face ever and is curious about what the man she is enamored with looks like. Because of this idea, there is a photo of her holding up a phone while she stands outside some ominous building after dark. This is where the images of the creepy cars (or white van if you want to be specific) come in as this is how he gets away and where the opener ends on a cliffhanger.
Lastly, there is an extreme close-up of a pair of droopy/drowsy eyes and hands being tied up as this ties back into the main idea of the shady guy kidnapping MC, leaving all the power within his hands. The plot twist I mentioned in my last post is represented by a chilling photo of a girl smirking into the mirror at herself, alluding to the viewer that not everything is revealed yet and that things have just started...
Explanation
The first picture that probably caught your eye was the big word MISSING on the ripped postered on a tree trunk. This goes with the main premise of our opener being about a teenage girl going missing after meeting up with this guy who she has been chatting with for several weeks now. I added another photo of a collection of missing children posters in order to further the creepy effect and dark atmosphere created by the main image to realize the horror and drama genres of our film opener. The third photo of this sort would be the one with children's faces blurred out as it illustrates the idea of how a life can be so easily taken along with the idea of a faceless attacker kidnapping the MC (main character).
Continuing the idea of an anonymous kidnapper, I included several eerie photos of shady men with their faces obscured to help visualize how he is going to appear (the guy in the hoodie standing there menacingly, the guy on the computer with his back towards us, the silhouette of a man carrying a girl, and a shadow of a person taking off a mask). All of this contributes to the idea that our MC has no clue who the person behind the screen really is as he does his best to hide everything about himself from her and subsequently the viewer, adding to the sinister air that the whole mood board exudes. One more image in the same vein as this is the image of a default user/profile picture (the most unsettling photo in my opinion) as none of this guy's online activities can be actually traced back to the real person he is in reality.
Since all the interactions between the two were online, there are several photos of phones and online chats. The picture with the girl on her phone in the dark and the person on the laptop in the dark both help the audience imagine the idea that these two have been talking to each other constantly for weeks and have some sort of hidden obsession with this activity. Going along with my previous point is the unsettling photos mentioning "love" as this parasocial relationship may have reached into the realms of e-dating (online dating).
