Title ideas

The title for our thriller will be 'Red Snow' this references to the location of the thriller, and shows that chilling and eerie things may have happened there. This is due to the fact that snow is supposed to be white so as our thriller is called 'Red Snow' could that signify murderous events happened there, as the colour red symbolizes blood and violence. The font for our title will be a simple looking font that doesn't take over the shot, so as it is subtle it creeps into the shot creating an eerie feel. The bright orangey red colour stands out and contrasts to the white snow, this colour is also the same as the victims coat which is a significant part of the shots in the snow, due to how brightly it shows up in the snow.

However, when editing and adding titles to our thriller this particular colour was too shocking and drew too much attention away from the actual thriller. So, therefore I decided to incorporate a more subtle colour of font that is still effective and due to it's subtlety it adds more tension and isn't too obvious.

  For ideas on how to use our title and production company name in our thriller I watched the title sequences from other thrillers, an example of one is Animal Kingdom. This particular title sequence introduces the actors names and production company subtly throughout the opening so it doesn't take over the scene. That is the effect I would like to incorporate in our thriller as it gives an authentic feel and builds up suspense.

Another film that has a font for it's title sequence which is subtle yet effective is Essex Boys. I like this particular font due to the fact that it is a basic font that isn't over the top and would look nicely in the opening to our thriller as it wouldn't take over the scene.
