Mood Board

I made this mood board with Canva and pictures from Pinterest!!

    My mood board for Notting Hill gives off a romantic and charming feel, which matches the movie's overall mood! I included some of London's ICONIC landmarks, such as Big Ben and Tower Bridge, alongside cute bookstores and colorful townhouses that can usually be found in Notting Hill. These paint a picture of the city that is so familiar and popular, especially in the film world! The cozy cafes and messy bookstores represent the movie's central charming setting, while the bustling markets, roads, and streets reflect Notting Hill's lively aspect. The mood suggested by each of these images is one of warmth and love, which allows people to enjoy the small moments in life, such as walking down a rainy street (bottom middle picture). 

    The board also captures the movie's theme of fame vs. an ordinary life, with pictures of film sets, paparazzi, director chairs, and intimate moments between the main characters. This demonstrates William and Anna's relationship: an everyday bookstore owner and a famous movie star. The contrast emphasizes the central conflict of the movie. Despite their VERY different lifestyles (that almost breaks them up), they find a profound love for each other, which can be shown by the pictures of the couples walking together. The rainy streets and nighttime walks along the river add a sense of nostalgia, implying the bittersweet nature of time passing and love. It demonstrates the start of Will and Anna's story, while the picture of the children running may show their future together. Together, these images evoke Notting Hill's mix of emotion and joy, set in London's complex yet romantic, charming setting.
