Having a title name and font that is suitable for our film trailer is difficult. I have done some research on other films with the same genre as I have chosen, it seems to be that each film title have very different fonts to show what type of film it goes with.
This font seems to have the affect that the word has been scratched onto a wall as it isn't text written, adding to this affect is the colour of the text which is the bright light shining though it and having a glow around the word, drawing you in. The feeling that the word and the font and the meaning gives off is a distorted feeling, being anxious to know what the film is about.
From my own experience having watched the film I feel that the title is suitable for the film as the atmosphere of the film is such like the title it's self, uncertain, having a scene of knowing.
The font for this title compared to "Captivity" is very different. Even though the genre is the same the text is written in a block font which doesn't give the audience a sense of mystery as is shoved in their face and they are told what it is about and there's nothing more to it. As the title is more than simple adding to creative side is the colour the font is written in, as red is naturally associated with danger and mystery I think this is were the title has more added to it so it seems interesting to watch.
This font is written in a thin block font but it seems to be shown as if it a serious title as it is slim as not in your face. The colour of the font is grey which adds to the reclusive side hinting to what the film is about. It is also a different shade of drowny grey to the background which is also a big hint to what the film is about as it shows that is being reserved, with drawn instead of eye capturing.
From own experiences watching this film the title is the most accurate, appropriate choice as the meaning of the title is well fitted and the colour choice and font go well with the elusion of the genre.
Thinking about the title I have thought about names that would be appropriate for the Thriller teaser trailer and what sort of font would be best suited.
Ideas that I have come up so far for a name is 'BOUND'. Looking the definition up I found that it has the same meaning as restain, enslaved ect. I haven't yet decided on a title name but finding one that is in the same genre as the above and are along the same lines as the title names above.
