Dark Horse Comics started at the bottom and was once an independent comic, this has inspire me as my company is small. Dark Horse is a role model for my company. I created this mood board so that i could specify what my theme was, through pictures. I will look back at this mood board for inspiration and new ideas when i write the treatment. It will also help me further during the production. This mood board will help my create additional characters in my film. I will look at the ways these films are filmed to help me come up with original ideas for shooting my film.
I created this mood board so that i could show my inspiration for my film. These characters inspired me to produce a superhero film. I will also use this mood board to create a costume for my main character and even powers or props. This will also assist me in creating an original story line for the film; that will make the film unique in comparison to the films and character you see above. Although these are great films and characters above i would like my film to come around as a realistic film; similar to Batman.

The genre is established as a Triller. This is gathered from the non-diagetic music as the Production and Distribution companies appear. The music is deep and mysterious creating suspense. There is then a cut scene to a close up of waves. The sound of the waves is juxtaposed against the non-diagectic music that played beforehand. This suggests we have skipped to a different point of the film. The tempo of the scene is slow paced and consists of long frames making the audience feel calm. The frames are long its gives the audience time to feel the emotion of the scene. The main character appears to be in asia, he is dragged inside. This suggests he is a prison on unfamiliar turf. the main character is disarmed for a gun and a totem. There is a sudden realisation after there is a close up on the totem. Explaining that this totem has importance to the story. At this point its clear that the sequence narrative is not linear.
The first part of the sequence confuses the audience as there is a cut scene where where is it not clear if we have gone back or forward in time; yet agin creating a mysterious feeling. However there is a mysterious asian old man in the first scene, who appears to be replaced by a young asian man; showing that we have gone back not forward.

The genre is established very quickly in the sequence as an action/triller. This is gathered from the non- diagetic music, as it is recognisable from the previous films and has a superhero vibe about it, which creates suspense. The tempo is also fast paced to build tension to the start of the movie. After the Production and Distribution companies are credited the frames are very quick paced giving the sequence more of a thriller feel to it. The sequence does not give a great amount of focus on the narrative as the editing is quick. There is but a few seconds between frames leaving the audience confused. The quick flashes in frames imitate some sort of top secret file being destroyed; this suggests that maybe the audience shouldn't be seeing this. Whoever it is pouring over these files appear to be in a rush, keep the audience on the edge of their seats. Everything in the sequence is old fashioned: like the photographs, typography and the locations appears to be outside as the files are destructed with ice and water making. This gives the setting a sense of bring cold. The credits twitch and flicker in and out of shots to create a disjointed atmosphere this is done because it is the third film in the Christopher Nolan Trilogy.

The genre is established very quickly in the sequence as a Comedy. This is gathered from the non- diagetic music and the immature noises this News Reader is making. The tempo of the non diagetic music is up beat and sets a happy vibe. The frames are very quick paced to keep up with the immaturity of this humourus character before us, which gives a more snappy effect; like a stand up comedian. The screen is cut through out the sequence to highlight some of the immature activity with close ups, this suggest the character is over the top. As we watch the News Reader warm up for camera, it becomes apparent that this is normal behaviour for the 'Anchorman", which makes us want to watch more. It appears that the sequence is narrative as the activity is clear. Although its seems the sequences shows the News Reader at work on different days of the week or just rehearsing in different suits. The cast is credited through out the scene however the focus is on the News Readers humour.In addition to this, the actors in the cast appear before everyone else, as they are higher importance; because they are seen in the film. The typography is in a 70's style and the news reader is wearing retro clothing suggesting the film is set in the 70's. The new reader comes across as a bossy character showing his colleagues respect him or are scarred of him. It is almost as if the camera started rolling early and the audience aren't meant to see the sequence. The sequence goes full screen when the credits stop and the News Reader is about to go on air. This shows the film is about to begin.
