Mood Board: Home Alone (1990)

 

Mood board: Home Alone

The mood board I present today is one on Home Alone. How these pictures relate to Home Alone is mainly the aesthetic and certain scenes within the movie. Home Alone is a Christmas movie set in the 1980s, so I went for a vintage 80s Christmas vibe, such as how the Christmas trees looked then, how the airports looked, upper-class houses, churches, inside house decorations, and outside. As well as items that were showed through the movie such as a robe, stockings, milk and cookies, ornaments, and a telephone. The mood of the movie so a very warm and comforting with some mischief, overall though the warmth of the cameras lighting and vintage Christmas feel of this movie rely on pictures that relate to the ones that I have used that give that vibe. By using such photos with a warm filter over them and Christmas photos that have been placed in the 80's with that somewhat bad quality effect, conveys that comforting feeling the movies gives. The pictures relate strongly to Christmas, the settings in the movies, and objects found throughout. The big glamorous Christmas tree for example is what glows throughout the movie, so without that the movie would loose some exciting feeling but with it, it gives such a stronger effect of what the movie means to the audience. Same goes for the rest of the objects used in the mood board. The photos provide is what are needed to create the cozy magic feeling.
