Coming up with our Movie Title

Hello! We have been thoroughly thinking about the title of our Movie. At the end of our film opening we will be including the title of our made up Movie. We have researched names of scary movies and we have found the pattern that most movies in the horror genre have one or two words as the title. The titles are almost always simple and short. Some examples are "It", "Us", "Get Out", "The Nun", "Sinister", "Insidious", and the list goes on and on. Thus, since our movie is mainly based on mass-suicides that are caused by receiving a call from a "friend" and that is when the spirit gets inside of you and makes you want to kill yourself, we came up with the title "The Call".

Moving on, we have also gone through many fonts and colors for the title and we have come up with the perfect one for our film opening. For the font, we were looking for a font with letters in all capital letters because it makes the words stand out more and it makes them more dramatic. We also were inspired by the movie titles of "The Nun" and "The Conjuring" because they are both very successful and well known horror movies. The titles of both of these movies include all capitals letters and different sizes of the letters. We also applied this to our title because it adds to the creepy and disturbing vibes. My partner and I used the website https://www.font-generator.com/.



This is the first font that we created, it doesn't really have all capital letters or different sizes, but we thought that the first T had a really unique look to it. The letter h is in lowercase and I HATED that.  We then thought of all of the other letters and ended up not liking this one at all, because it is really simple and the only good part about it was the first letter. 








This is the second design that we came up with. It has ALL capital letters and the creepy different sizes that we wanted. The only thing that we didn't like was the color of the background and the color of the font. But we learned how to fix it and we adjusted it to how we wanted.








THIS IS IT. This is the title that we will be using. It has all of the aspects that we want in it and more. It is red because the color red is associated with death and blood which you can't go wring with when dealing with a horror movie. It also is red to match with our lead actress's color contacts which will be the last thing the audience sees before the title is displayed. It also has a black background which will help in blending this image of the font into the black background of the ending of the film opening.


We will be including the title screen at the end of the film opening, and there's an explanation for that. When the lead actress, Valentina, answers the phone in the last part of the last scene, she will be looking down. Then, we will have her open her eyes and do a close up shot of the red colored contacts that she will be wearing. She will then collapse to the floor, and the screen will go black. This is when the title will appear. The red will pop out with the font and the contacts, which adds to the horror genre aspect of our movie.
