For costumes and props, the mood board means we use very few bright colors, choosing only dark grays, muted blues, and blacks for clothes to match the shadows. Any red is saved only for blood or a specific moment of danger. Props like tools or furniture must look old, dirty, and broken (showing decay) to make the world feel uncared for or oppressive. If a scene needs light, the props must be unreliable, like a flickering flashlight or a dim candle, to keep things suspenseful and unclear.
For the setting, the board tells us to choose locations that feel isolated and trapped, such as deep forests, abandoned buildings, or tight, narrow hallways. The heavy use of low-key lighting means we will keep the entire set mostly dark. This darkness is intentional—it hides things and makes the viewer feel constant anxiety. Every choice, from the cracked paint on the walls to the dark mist outside, is planned to make the setting feel hostile and reinforce the overall sense of dread.
