Moonboard analysis

   Here is a moon board which my group and I have produced, All of these 9 pictures are vital in the knowledge and understanding of our trailer and offers a slight insight to the initial storyline of our trailer.

  


1)   This is a medium shot of the famous boxing character Rocky. The reason we chose this specific character is that he shares similar characteristics that our main character is going to have. The most obvious is that they are boxers but both of the characters have a situation related to struggle around boxing. Rocky is an inspirational character and is one in which our main character is trying to become.

2)  The next picture is one of weights. This is because in the trailer, we will observe some of our main characters training in a gym. This is what the weights symbolise. Furthermore, the feeling of motivation is a connotation of weights and it shows our main characters attitude towards boxing. Also these training weights will attract the target audience and is a product which can help identify that this is a boxing movie.

3)  Picture number three is a long shot of a boxing ring with an audience around it. Again, this is probably the most important product to show a boxing movie. The audience shows that our main character is rather well known and successful and thus shows the type of atmosphere we are tying to create.

4)   The fourth picture is a establishing shot of a running track which shows the cardiovascular aspect of our characters training and again is linked to his motivation. It shows the huge amount of training that boxers have to go through and just adds another aspect of realism to our trailer.

 5)   Picture number five is character facing struggle and de-motivation. The empty bottle connotes depression. We chose this to support the drama aspect of or genre and offer a storyline which will appeal to a wider audience. It tells the audience that the character is in a negative place in terms of his mindset and it makes that audience want to know more about his situation.

  6)   My sixth picture is an actual fight consisting of David Haye and Dedrick Chisora. The use of a bottle can be associated with a lower class which is in fact the class type that both of these individuals grew up in. This will be resembled in our character as well and is supported by picture number five where he is seen as undesirably drunk. Furthermore, both of these characters represent British boxing and is another similarity that our character and this picture has.

  7)   Picture number seven is a picture of some boxing gloves and is probably the most simple picture but is the one which offers the most information about our trailer. It also shows the importance of picture six to an extent. We witness a fight in picture six which may give out the wrong message. This tells us that the story line will be based around a boxing fight as opposed to a normal fight. The plain background offers more prevalence on the boxing gloves and makes it stand out in the entire mood board.

  8)   This picture of light in the sky refers to the phrase light at the end of the tunnel and states that there our character is going to become famous and defy the odds. This picture is important because it shows the hard work of our character.

   9)   The final picture is one where a man is training with a background consisting of a house and trees.
