Ideas for Movie title

When I was researching my different movie trailers and posters I was also looking at the different effects on the movie titles that were used. This is because I wanted to collect lots of ideas on what to do for my title but also what was conventional and what wasn't but also how it related to the genre of the film and if you could tell.

This is a picture of all the movie titles that I researched. As you can tell they are all different but some of them use the same characteristics. A lot of them use a dark background to show danger in the movie and 3 of the movie titles use the colours red for their title. This shows that customer that there is blood in the movie as this is what I portray the colour red to show. I really like the night mare on elm street title as there is an effect on it and it doesn't look boring. I want to do the same effect but with blood dropping from my title. The only title that doesn't tell the customer that it is a horror/thriller film is the lovely bones title. This is because it used bright colours and a bright background that looks happy. This might be miss leading for the customers. I think that the Scream and the Prom Night movie title is very boring and more could of been done to the title to make it stand out a little bit more. I also like the effect that is used on the Paranormal Activity title because it shows the title twice but as a shadow. I also like the Crazies title because I like the font that is used for the title, this doesn't make it look at simple and boring.

From this i have got a lot of ideas that I will be able to use on my own movie title when I come to construct it. I really want to use the effect that is on the Night Mare on Elm Street title but in a different way as i want it to look like blood is dropping from the movie title to show that people are going to die in this movie but also this should tell the customer that it is a horror/thriller genre. Another idea that i could do is the effect used on the Paranormal Activity poster is the shadow effect on the title which shows the importance of the title. I think that I will use a red for my movie title to portray the blood in my movie but also because it will stand out on the poster and DVD cover. This will make it easy to read.
