MoodBoard

My group and I decided that the artist we would be focusing our song choice on is Alicia Keys, because we couldn't come to an agreement of what song to do we narrowed it down to two songs. The first one was 'if i ain't got you' and the second song choice was 'you don't know my name'.

The mood board I created was based on 'if i ain't got you'. The task was to create the mood board according to how the song made you feel, the tone and mood of the song.

As the mood board shows the color dominating most is red. Red is known to connote passion, love, being bold etc. I believe that these themes are reflected throughout the song, the lyrics are passionate and emotional and the song itself is a love story. That explains the strong presence of red on the board.

The painting sort of image at the bottom of the page in the center shows a lonely woman waiting for something that is never gonna come. I intentionally chose this image because I feel that it reflects the emotion Alicia feels if she hasn't got her man. I thought it represented her lonely emotion without her man really well.
The image connoting this similar type message is the one on the bottom left which shows a  ghostly looking female, in a dull colored scenery looking isolated from the world. I chose this because I thought this also reflected what Alicia felt when she is without her lover.

However to remove from all the negative emotion I also added positive images to show what she'd feel if her and her lover were to get together. The pictures with the couple show affection, passion, care and happiness with someone. I chose these images intentionally to show what could be felt if she was to get with her lover. She would feel happiness and security.

The nature images with the flowers and plants I chose as I thought they associate with love. Lovers give flowers to their lovers. That explains the flowers being on the board. The flowers also reflect the type of location/scenery the video would take place in.
