Film titling and names 24th Feb

Readers,

I have looked at several films in the genre of Horror/Thriller and how the film industry produce their titling for their movie. The films I have studied are: Se7en, The Shinning, Texas Chainsaw Massacre (TCM) and The Silence of The Lambs. All these films have the same sequence of titles.

  1. Production company
  2. Starring actors/actresses
  3. Casting by...
  4. Music by...
  5. Costumes and make up by...
  6. Editing and director of photography
  7. Produced by...
  8. Directed by...
  9. Title of film
I will use the same order of titles in the opening to my film.

The other main feature I looked at is the colour and font and how they laid out their text. The colours used are red, black and white. Also the editing team on all of the film openings either had BLOCK CAPITALS or thin lower case writing.


These are my ideas of font for titling in my 2 minute opening. The fonts I have chosen are Oriya MN as the san serif and Charlemagne Std as the serif. I did a tally chart of different titles for my film and then asked my target audience- teenage girls- which one they liked the most. My target audience chose "Dark Secret". 



The name of my final film is Dark Secrets

These graphics are classy and emphasise to the viewer what genre of film this is going to be.
