Film title

We have been thinking about the title of our film, and have come up with a few possibilities
  • Mask
  • Who's calling
  • The mask project
  • Signal
  • Trapped 
  • No way out
  • The unknown
  • New arrival
Out of these possibilities we feel that the most effective is 'The Mask project' as the mask is one of the most significant aspects in our trailer. It suggests that the masked man is committing the attack as part of a project, revealing his psychological issues. The other title that we liked is 'The unknown' as it emphasises the mystery in the film, making the audience want to discover what the film entails. However, we felt that 'The mask project' was more personable to our film in particular as it addresses the mask.

We began to think about the type of font and style we want our film title to be. Firstly we used photoshop and downloaded appropriate fonts from dafont.com, to use for our film title. The images below are our initial choices of font. 


From these 3 fonts, we decided that the most effective is the 2nd one 'Horror sketch' as we feel it is the most appropriate for our genre and releases a sense of spookiness. To develop this title further, we imported everything onto the motion app, so that we could add effects to the font and enable movement, so that it looks effective emerging into the trailer. Firstly we added a glow to the font, and increased the tracking of the letters, to make the title appear more sharp and intense. We also altered the colour slightly from white, to a cream colour to make the font less bold. We then added a behaviour to the title- 'fade in centre left', which we feel was quite a simple behaviour yet very effective. 

Below is a preview of our film title with edited visual aspects and movement. We will show the title at the end of the trailer, so that it remains in the audiences mind making the trailer more memorable. We feel that our final outcome is effective and will suit the mood of our trailer. We aim to maintain this font throughout the whole trailer, and on our poster and magazine cover.
