When coming to the decision about wanting to make a 2000s inspired film, many ideas and concepts rushed to my head. It was very exciting to take inspiration from many of my favorite movies. I wanted to physically visualize these thoughts, I wanted to see what this would actually look like. Using the website Pinterest i gathered photos and arranged the into collages. Let’s break this down!
When initially deciding on creating a 2000s inspired film opening I wanted to find past film I could take inspiration from. I used films like “Wild Child”, “The perks of being a wallflower”, “13 going on 30”, “Princess protection program”, “High school musical” and many more. I have created two bison boards, one based on the 2000s teen experience and the other based on 2000s films I will be taking inspiration from. Creating vision boards is a very essential step as it allows me to visualize my ideas.

Now it is time to visualize what these 2000s characters would look like. As a group we wanted to choose new names and personalities for the characters we had created. Although this is not the final representation of what the characters will be like, this is a perfect way to gather inspiration for the future planning.
To begin, Arianna is the first character we have created she is a calm and studious girl who loves fall, music, and reading. Clothing is a big part of how a character is perceived, her wardrobe consists of dark washed denim and darker purples and blues. When creating these mood boards I wanted to focus on certain color schemes so that everything would have a consistent aesthetic. As noticed colors are slightly muted and pictures have darker lighting. Arianna is meant to have a down to earth personality, a girl who has many rules, and is not afraid to be herself.

On the other hand we have, Alejandra. This character is very outgoing, she is more impulsive than Arianna. She is the type of character in 2000s teen movies to be seen as popular or well known.
Alejandra is a sweet girl with lots of energy. She is seen as someone who is a bit careless and loses time easily. Her wardrobe was a bit tricky since my teammates want Alejandra to have a pink and sparkly outfit. However Alejandra consist of clothing brands like "Ed hardy" and "Victoria Secret". The majority of it includes denim, pinks, oranges, animal print and mainly black outfits. Alejandra is a character that loves sunglasses and jewelry. She wants to be seen, she is confident.

Creating collages is one of the best ways to visualize your thoughts, being able to psychically see what is going on in your mind may help clear overlapping thoughts that may not make total sense. These mood boards very accurately depict how I want these characters to be viewed. Although many details are yet to come I do think it is a great start.
