Coming Up with our Movie Title

We have been thinking about our film title and we have been researching names of scary movies and we have found a constant pattern that most horror movies share. This pattern is having one or two words as the movie title; therefore, making them short and to the point. Some examples are "It", "Us", "Get Out", "The Nun", "Sinister", "Insidious", etc. Thus, since our film opening is based on mass-suicides caused by individuals picking up their phones to receive a call, we came up with the film title "The Call".

My partner and I found a very useful website that helped us come down to two fonts for our film title. The link to the website is the following: https://www.font-generator.com/.

The image above is the first option that we have for our film title for our film opening. Moreover, the difference between this font option and the option below is the unique characteristic with the letter "T", and the fact that all the letters are the same size and capitol (except for the letter "h"). Furthermore, my parter and I really like this one mainly because of the distinctness it has due to the unique letter "T". Thus, this would essentially be helpful in helping viewers distinguish our film with others. 

The image above is the second option we have in mind for our film title. Moreover, with this film title there are certain elements that catch our attention as well. For example, we like the inspiration it draws from extremely successful films such as The Conjuring and The Nun because it proves to us that these fonts do indeed work with the general target audience of those individuals in the horror genre group. Thus, by giving them a font that they are able to associate with an already popular film, they are able to create high expectations for our film when they watch it. Furthermore, we also liked the combination of several sizes utilized when creating the font as well as the use of all capitol letters because it adds to the creepy/disturbing vibes, which are transmitted through the film opening that basically set up the tone of the whole film. 

In the end, my partner and I decided on using the second option mainly because of the close resemblance it had with the movie font of already successful horror movies such as The Conjuring and because of the unusual and eerie vibes it gives off. Thus, we went a step further to customize the font that we selected. This can be seen in the below image. 

In the image above you are able to notice two main things: the black background change and the red text color change. So, we ended up changing the white background to black so that it would blend in with the black screen of the ending scene of our film opening immediately following the close up of Lucy's now red-colored eyes. Furthermore, we also changed the white font color to a red font color because it matches the previous scene showing Lucy's eyes change colors dramatically from a calm, blue color to an intense, red one. Also, the reasoning behind using a red font for our film title is because of the fact that the color red can be associated with death and blood; thus, the use of the color red in our title that appears right after the close-up of Lucy's red eyes helps lead viewers to the idea that Lucy suffered the deadly consequence of answering her phone, which was death of course. Also, the red that we used is not a bright red, but instead it is a deep, blood-like, intense red. Thus, this helps capture the terrifying and disturbing horror genre vibes that our film opening is all about.
