Title Inspiration

The titles off the thriller/horrors included below all have the same basic conventions.

The font appears to be small bus still provides an effective image for the audience due to the

colours used.

The colouring is used for effect to make the text stand out to the audience and leave an impression to encourage people to see the film. Inception has an almost typewriter font which links in with the type of film it is and its content. Seven uses a font that could be associated with a dark room used by detectives to uncover clues. This significantly links with the film and its content effectively. A very creative title.

Paranormal activity, one of the highest grossing low budget films of the decade uses very effective ‘haunting’ titles that slightly provides the image of a UAV light – a typical prop of this genre.

The final titles we see are is ‘directed by’ then the director’s

name underneath. Typical of film conventions it gives the film its

own brand because some people watch films simply because of who directed it. After this we

hear dialogue from someone in the background and a the

opening scene fades in as the titles fade out.
