Titles Analysis

For our trailer,with our genre being horror, our group wanted to conform accurately to our production and use the correct font, colouring and positioning for our film. With this in mind we decided to look at other films of our genre and that were similar in style to see what would be suitable for our own trailer. 

 This particular title seemed very effective to me as it shows the correct styles within its imagery to conform to its genre. The bright,blood red effectively shows the impression of violence and gore which also boldly sets out the title from its bleak,dark background, which fades into the top of the text, creating a shaded and secluded tone. Within the bold capitalised font we can see black marks which appear to look almost like twigs on a tree, possibly suggesting it's location setting as a dark Forrest. But also could be seen as scratches so again this could possibly be outlining the violent themes within the film

 This title appealed to me as it showed again effectively the style of horror that they were presenting, with the knife like text we can see that this is probably a slasher style horror,matched with the random streams of blood flickering with light on the blade, shows the receiving audience that the film they are doing to watch will be very gruesome. Again with the text matched with a black background it effectively stands off the poster and sets a dark tone over the film. 

 This title also stands as an original title with an actual imagery being used within the text. And instead of using a darkly coloured text, a bright bold capitalised white text is used to stand off the bang, creating a somewhat distorted tone, the image within the text itself appears to be a normal looking human, but looking more closely we can see strange hands appearing out of its coat with abnormally long fingers sticking out. This effectively shows the receiving audience the films main character and must match the films title and be "the thing" in question. 

For our trailers title our group feels it is most appropriate to use an incorporation of all titles used as example here. We want to use a darkly lit background ,most likely black. Paired with a brightly courted text. And a gimmick from our trailers plot involved with it. To make it stand as an original design.
