TITLE IDEAS
Dark shadows
We came up with this idea as "Dark shadows" helps give the impression of something mysterious and links with the idea of something being evil and dangerous
silhouette
At first we thought this title would be a good idea as the silhouette could be the killer in our trailer but later on decided that it didnt sound somthing you would call a horror film
semblance
We wanted our main killer to be unique so thought "semblance" would help describe the killers appearance
Our Final Idea
We originally decided for our final title for our trailer to be 'The calling'' as the young girls are calling out to the dead, but later on decided that having the title ''The crossing'' as this gives our trailer more of a story to go by as well as the calling title is more situated as the 3 girls are calling the spirits in the spirital world
final tagline
Our final tag-line is " once theyve crossed through they cannot cross back" as this sticks with the idea of keeping a storyline .Shows that something or someone is coming
FONT CHOICES
We decided to use an standard font within our trailer with the colours used to be grey,black and white as these are typical colours seen to be ghostly. Also we used the audience feedback to the which was the mostly ghostly colour to use for our font to give a sense within our trailer
examples of font choices from other trailers
paranormal activity 4 (2013)
Red font typical in horror as it symbolizes death and danger and is glowy and blurry around the text.
THE POSSESSION (2012)
The "possession" is in a bigger font which helps tell the audience what its about
sinister (2012)
Each letter is spread out this indicates something unusual about the storyline of the film
the unleashed (2012)
In capital letters makes title stand out
