Title Research

After researching different horror movie titles, there is a clear convention throughout all the ones i looked at. Conventions that in saw was the consistency in colours used. The main colours for the title appearance in the openings was the colours red and black probably because these colours connotes death and danger. It foreshadows bad events to come which is usually the case in horror movies. 




Movie titles can make or break the film. The title is the first thing people are going to experience about the movie. People are not going to watch some movies unless they like the title. Movie titles are the marketing tools and they should help you market your projects.
Some horror movies use direct titles because they are straight forward. They tell you about what you are going to see..
  • Jaws
  • Human Centipede 
  • Psycho

These are just a few things to consider when making our movie title. Audiences look for certain things when thinking about a film. Our title should...

  • GRAB THEIR ATTENTION
  • HINT AT PREMISE
  • IMPLY GENRE
  • IMPLY CONFLICT
  • MEMORABLE
