Mood Board

 

        Hey bloggers! I introduce you to my new project, a mood board on the movie, Nope, which I had reviewed the different shots produced by Jordan Peele and his team to capture the thriller and horror of the film. My mood board provides us the themes of fear, darkness, mystery, and wonder. Nope managed to create these emotions and feelings within me while I watched, and I truly advise you to give the movie a chance.

        First things first, you may notice both the dark and light aspects of the film, as well as it being set in a western location with desert all around. Nope is set in an isolated area, where not many people wander around, allowing for the characters to appear stranded and small compared to their surroundings. I really enjoy this factor, as taking place in an urban or suburban location would throw off the horror feel of the movie, which usually is used in most popular movies in the genre, which we can all say from experience is effective.

        Additionally, Nope plays the night time events in the movie well, first revealing the alien UFO during the dark hours. In fact, most of the extraterrestrial events occur during the night. The movie takes the darkened atmosphere to establish mystery and fear as themes for the movie, and it makes viewing it that much better. After the reveal of the UFO, we begin to see it in action during the daytime, as we already know how it looks, so no reason to hide it. However, seeing it in action with light outside seems to make it even more threatening to the characters, as it rampages and attempts to scare them away from its territory.

        Jordan Peele used these factors magnificently, because he managed to capture those feelings of wonder and terror all on the subject of this UFO, using the secluded surrounding area in both the day and night. I'm excited for whatever movie project is next for Mr. Peele, and I hope it captures my attention the same way his past 3 films have done.
