Film Trailer; Titles

Here are the titles i have been working on, i have been trying to think of a tagline for the film both to put on the poster and possibly to use in the trailer ... I was thinking about using "innocence never lasts forever" as it links in with the child theme as children have associations with the word innocence and sort of explains the plot of the film , it hints at something turning evil or nasty.   I think this year we have been a bit more creative with the titles as last year we made the titles on the adobe premiere pro program  and did not edit them that much apart from how they moved on the screen.

The reason i have made the titles red as opposed to the silver title is because i didn't want them seem like they are of the same importance as the main title they are just leading up to it. As i have said previously it is also so the main title stands out and they will know it is the main title. They are also the colour red to symbolize evil, i don't think any other colour would have had the same connotations or would appropriate for the content of this film. the black, dark background has connotations of the darkness surrounding the characters. Mr Earl said that the faded red didn't look like an obvious choice for a horror as the obviously a lot of horror's use the colour red. This is why we thought we could still get away with using the red without it looking too common as there has to be some difference between all the other horror film titles. I thought I would include the tagline in the trailer as it links to the plot and if the audience see a poster or magazine cover with the tagline on it they would associate it with the film.

I chose the font by going through various types of fonts on the programme, adobe photoshop and tried different ones and assesed whether they would suit the genre of the film. I tried this font and thought it looked quite aged and we wanted to create a quite old feel to our trailer as most horror films do, not so it looks ancient but so it looks like it has happened in the past. The flashback at the start of the trailer will definitely add to the sense of oldness which is reflected in the font. I also don't think the font - perpetua titling MT - looks that old and the colour red gives it a modern edge signifying the youth of the child.

Here are the titles i have made:
