Claudia Mood Board

Claudia's mood board is a little bit of fun, On the surface it looks innocent and fun and colourful but underneath much like my True Blood mood board is a splatter of blood and also a photo of Sophie-Ann the Queen of Louisiana. Claudia though completely un-realising what she's done and her imprisonment of over thirty years Claudia is a bit of a dream; much like girls today looking at 'celebrities' Claudia idolising those she sees in front of her on a daily basic on her television from old movie stars to music icons like madonna.

The colour scheme of the mood board is bright with the orange and pink ombre effect, the background fits in with my plan for Claudia because she is very cliche in her style of that period especially within her makeup, claudias personality itself is also extremely immature almost bratty sometimes. Theres an almost surreal look about her with the makeup with the vintage style clearly showing though, she almost models herself on what she sees on the television screen. Unknowing to Claudia the television is almost her eye to the outside.




The buildings are including because Claudia has originally lived in New Orleans which is a extremely popular place for the vampire community in True Blood, though Claudia is now actually living in a secret facility the likeness of her old apartment is unmistakable the apartment is a exact copy of the old one in New Orleans with windows that have the effect of the outside on so Claudia believes she never left anything. Due to her agoraphobia Claudia had always been tender and afraid of the outside world; Having such a powerful day was hard on Claudia but she hadn't always been the way she currently is. Claudia is extremely dependent on her neighbours finding out the latest gossip and outside information that is filtered through to her. Claudia hasn't been destroyed because of her importance to Russell much like his boyfriend Talbot who was destroyed by Eric; Russell loves his child. 

I included the blood because after all Claudia's life source is blood, she feeds from her neighbours "The Wannabes" being un-mentally stable neighbours know the risk of being feed upon, blood is used instead of the true blood drink as the drink wasn't created when Claudia killed Quentin and had her breakdown; sometimes Claudia has blackouts in which she actually 'loses it' these attacks usually cause a neighbour to mysteriously disappear from her life and get replaced soon after. Strangely within these blackouts Claudia sees Quentin in his unoriginal form, without realising Claudia has to be knocked out by heavy medication to be stopped.  

Claudia is complicated she has a few different sides not only is she a dangerous and mentally unhinged but she's also dependant and really child like, another side of Claudia is the fact she's a dreamer seeing peoples lives on television; in a way sometimes she forgets who she is and where she's from almost forgetting she is a imortal vampire, dreaming of a perfect husband like her Quentin, making cakes that fill the flat with a almost bakery smell even though she never eats them herself. 

What do I do now? 
The face of Claudia needs to be created
