The name of a film is extremely important because it is one of the first things that you know about the movie so it definitely has to be capturing and intriguing. We wanted our film name to reflect the themes of possession, isolation and antagonising that are apparent in our film. Therefore, to help us come up with a few possibilities for film names we used an online thesaurus to help us concoct interesting alternatives to lexemes that connote the horror genre e.g. frighten, terror, escape, isolation, abandoned. From this we deduced our findings down to 5 names that we thought were catchy and would sound appealing if they were to be the name of our horror film.
They are:
The Abandoned
Desolate
The Haunted
Estranged
Torment
We think that these names reflect the fact that there is a girl who is being antagonised by a possessed being causing her to be in complete isolation in an abandoned area. The film trailer, as well as the name has to appeal to our target audience, therefore we handed out 15 copies of a document with these film names on and asked people to give their opinion on which one they thought would be the best. the results were as follows:
The Abandoned ||
Desolate ||||
The Haunted |||
Estranged
Torment ||||||
A Pie chart to deomnstarte our results more visually:
The results showed that 'Torment' was the most popular name for our horror trailer which is also the name that we favoured the most. We think it is quite catchy and signifies one of the main themes in our trailer; the possesed girl tormenting and antagonising the girls who are visiting this house.
This is our production company logo. Based on our research, the trailer always features an edit of the production company logo, therefore we decided to create our own for our trailer.
We decided on prism, as they usually are made of shapes and are quite basic, with the focus on image, rather than name.
