-Isolated: This idea was put forward because of the wooded setting we chose, the setting is isolated in the sense that no one is there to hear and/or help the victim. We chose not to use this title because as the rest of the film progresses their will most likely be a range of settings rather than just the woods.
-Abandoned: Again the idea of being alone, however this title suggests the victim has purposefully been left - this is one of the main reasons why we didn't choose this idea, our opening shows no obvious signs of this. Although our film could progress into this idea of being purposefully left we still chose not to use it as our title.
-Reminiscence: (Now currently our title) We searched upon several words meaning to 'remember' or to 'look back in time' (retrospective) because we thought of the idea of playing our shots backwards to make the opening seem like a flashback. We settled upon this as our title because it is short and to the point, if we were to continue the film it would be shown that the opening is in fact the ending played first, therefore the rest of the film would be in retrospective of the opening.
Title Fonts:
Here we experimented with different fonts to find one that would suit our genre of film.
Like generic horror film titles, we looked for a sharp font which showed no emotion; for example the 3rd example above is too rounded for the text to be imposing however we liked it for its formality.
We settled upon the font of "Baskerville" in the same red colouring as the above examples.
This was chosen because we felt it was quite eerie and formal, whilst still fitting in with the expectations of a horror title.
However with this font we encountered a problem, the text was automatically outlined with black and this made the writing difficult to read on our opening. To overcome this we removed the outline completely and this made the letters more obvious, we also made the text larger so as the writing would be easier to read.
We chose to use red colouring to reflect the typical conventions of a horror, i.e. blood, danger etc.
