Creating a mood board

Creating a mood board 

I have chosen a selection of pictures found on the internet, that I think illustrates the concept of Dorian Gray very well. I have chosen a mixture of images that are taken from the film and some painted by artists. I admire the makeup images; as they weren't all inspired by the film or the book, but I have chosen to look at them because the makeup inspires me to think about the makeup practices that could be done for the story. I have taken some images from the television series 'The walking dead,' as the makeup for this is incredible; each character is made up individually and with very precise detail, this works well and the characters look real and very gory. This type of makeup reminds me of Dorian's painting, as time goes on and Dorian became more and more sinful, his painting would age and degrade and eventually become something that looks very much like a zombie. 

The main characters of the film:
Dorain Gray-main character, and his portrait 
Lord Henry Wotton-bad influence to Dorian Gray and life long friend 
Basil Hallward-painter and friend to Dorian and Henry 
Sibyl Vane-first love of Dorian 

Brief summery of the book:
Dorian Gray exchanges his soul for eternal youth and beauty. Influenced by his friend Lord Henry Wotton, he is drawn down into a corrupt double life, indulging his desires in secret while remaining a gentleman in the eyes of polite society. Only his portrait bears the traces of his decadence.
