We have also decided that the colour of our title will be black as it connotes mystery, death and suspicion. We didn't want to use red as it would represent blood and murder, we feel this would look to cliché.
1)
This is our first design which we have decided against. This is because we don't want the title to be red and have blood dripping down it. At first I thought it would look effective, however it's to cliché and would give away to much. It also doesn't look very professional, it looks very fake and not well created. I feel it looks like a title which would be on a 'spoof' movie as it looks quite jokey and wacky. This title connoted blood, murder and knife slashing. Our movie doesn't involve blood and usage of a knife so we don't want to advertise it in the title.

Our second design is very strong as the sharp font connotes danger and the colour black suggests mystery death and suspicion. I really like the look of this design as its scary looking and perfect for our film. It looks like it has been written by a child which links to the horror film 'Orphan'. We want the title for our film to come across as frightening immediately but also present the genre of our film which is thriller. My whole group like this Title, Nadiye said it shows the type of film and connotes assault, killing and weapons. Chloe and Katy also said that its effective in showing what our film will be about and how creepy the setting will be. The location of our film is in an Alleyway so a sinister looking title of the place will make it appear even more intimidating and frightening.

This is our third font, it's also black as we feel it suits our film best as we want it to connote death, suspicion and mystery. I like the block capitals as it stands out and helps represent our thriller genre. I think it looks good and would be effective to use when introducing our film. The block writing helps produce a bold effect which doesn't give away to much about the film. Compared to title number two, it doesn't give away a frightening image, it just informs where the setting of the film is with a interesting effect. I like this title as its takes your eye and I feel it doesn't give to much away it leaves the viewers/audience questioning what will happen in the film and whats to come.
4)
This is our fourth title, it's black as it connotes death, murder and suspense but also there is a scratched affect which makes the title appear scary and threatening. The T, E, A, E and Y have been edited to look mysterious and scratched. This suggests there is a frightening part to our thriller film and we want to leave the audience questionable and vulnerable. This is my second favourite title as the font isn't really striking and eerie but the effect to the title creates an interesting effect to the film and title itself.

5)
This is another very strong title as its fairly standard by the block capitals however has an interesting view to it with the cut out letters. I like the colour black as its mysterious and not as clichè as red would be. I think this title would be successful for our film as it doesn't give away as much as title 2. Number two is to horror like as it looks like a knife slash.
I think we should use either title 2, 3 or 5. I like number 2 as its font type is sharp and mysterious which helps make the film and setting appear scary and threatening. I like number 3 as its not so captivating and leaves a lot to the imagination. Its effective though as its bold and in capitals. I also like number 5 as its unoriginal and doesn't immediately connote murder and death. I think I like these fonts as the colour is plain, simple and black. This connotes death, murder and mystery and ambiguity. We didn't want to use a colour like red as it gives to much away and is very clichè. We wanted to try and give small hints from the title, not give away the whole plot.
