This is the first mood board I made for the TV show, American Horror Story- Asylum. As the series is based in a mental asylum, that is run by the church, the majority of the characters are either priests or nuns and mental patients. I think each character would be able to be made into a Saul Bass style, I would just have to include things like objects that the character is often seen with, or a certain piece of clothing they wear for the majority of the season.
As the show is based in a mental asylum, I decided to try and find a range of pictures of the actual building and the different rooms that are used. There are a few other places that are used in the season but they aren't always significant to the story and aren't recognisable to Asylum.
These are a range of colours that are used throughout the series. I used different shades for reds as there is a lot of surgical and torturous scenes in the season. The greys and blacks are used because the asylum is very dark and gloomy, there isn't a lot of bright colours used. The blues are used for the patients uniforms and the greens are used for the surrounding forest/wood area around the asylum.
