Revised Film Titles

After some suggestions from my teacher, I have decided that the film title screen I originally planned to use (shown below) did not represent my film's content to the standard which I wanted it to.

Whilst the red colour is certainly reflective of the horror genre, it connotes blood and gore, which my film does not contain. Instead, I have chosen the colour white for my title, which is more suggestive of the supernatural sub-genre of horror, which is more representative of my media product.

< This title is mysterious-looking but still legible and it appears to have been created with a typewriter which connotes more of an old-fashioned, eerie feel. I asked someone who fits within my potential audience and he said that this is the font that he preferred because it was subtly scary, which is what I intend my media project to be.


^ While this font is certainly reflective of the horror genre, the 'splattered' look of the font makes it appear as if there will be excessive violence or gore within my media project, neither of which I plan to put into my final product. When I asked someone who fell into the expected audience of my media product he said that this font looked like more of a 'stereotypically cheesy, gory horror rather than one that uses supernatural elements and jumpscares'.

                                                                 ^ I have decided that this font best reflects what I wish to portray within my media product and I believe it is the best choice for a title font.
