Font Possibilities

The caption of a film poster is very important as people remember it and it can also give us an idea of what genre the film is and what the story-line will be based on.
In our group, we have brainstormed different captions to go underneath the title of the film. We decided to go with hard hitting, mysterious phrases. This allows the audience to understand it is a horror film but they will not entirely understand what it is about.

Death Lives Here
Fear your thoughts
Insanity is infectious
It's our turn to adapt

'Death lives here' is perfect for what the film portrays so we have chosen this caption. It's simple, short and easy to understand. It also exerts a horror/macabre feel.
The title for the film is the most important part of the whole film.

The title can give the audience an idea of the genre and also be more memorable for people. For instance, we all remember the 'James Bond' font and the 'Spiderman font'. The font will be an ongoing theme throughout our Film teaser trailer, Film magazine cover and Film poster making it more memorable for the viewers.

Film name possibilities

The infant
The last drive
Pram
Two Girls One Road

All four titles link to the theme of the trailer and story. The name of the film and the font will be sure to give the audience a clear idea of what genre our film is. We needed the title to be bold and stand out on the posters so these are the four fonts we chose to pick from. We ended up going the the 'Nightmare' font as its bold but fitting in with the theme of the woods as it looks like twigs put together to spell the words out. This font will also be used for the caption however the caption will be of a smaller size and possibly a different colour as it's less important.
