The moodboard above shows inspiration that I have gathered from movies, fashion, music videos and art to portray my understanding of the gothic horror genre. When searching for inspiration, I began by looking at the idea of the femme fatale and the typical styling ideas for them. I found that they are all styled with very sleek, smooth and simple, yet striking hairstyles. Lady Gaga's Born This Way music video shows her and another man made up as skeletons and both dressed in suits. This make me think that could create quite an interesting look if both Claudia and Quentin were styled in the same way.
Seeing that in her music video lead me to think about couples in movies, leading me to Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd and the characters of Sweeney Todd and Mrs Lovett (played by Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter). I then looked at other movies within the horror genre, including Black Swan and Orphan. These two movies provided inspiration mainly for Claudia, as the main characters in these films are both quite psychotic and have split personalities.
I then went back towards the fashion side of inspiration, where I found many images that involved dark eyes and lips, for both male and female make-up looks. Halloween make-up was a featured search, through which I found vampire inspired looks as well as ones involving marks on the face that look like stitches.
To take this further, I am going to combine inspiration from both fashion and movies, in order to create more specific storyboards for the two characters. This will help me to narrow down my ideas and create some inspired designs for Claudia and Quentin.
