Research Into Title Of The Horror Trailer And Character Names For Old Narrative

The title of the movie we have chosen for the horror trailer will be 'The Voyeurist' as the narrative is about a girl who is being watched and stalked so the narrative will link in quite well with the title of the film. I researched whether there was already a film by the same name and there didn't appear to be any so it was better making a trailer with a name that hadn't already been taken.

A lot of research went into the names of the villains and the main character. The final girl is called 'Riley' which connotes strength, as we used the final girl theory, the final girl represents strength as they typically survive in the end. The villains are named 'Phoenix' and 'Loki'. I researched what Loki and Phoenix meant and they had bad connotations which fitted well with their characters. The etymology of the name Phoenix derived from Greek (Phoinix) meaning "dark red". The colour red connotes blood and represents danger. Being a horror trailer, blood is likely to be involved as it's an iconography of horror that comes up the most and the victim who is Riley is in danger, the person causing the danger will be Phoenix and Loki so the name fits well with Phoenix. Loki represents evil and is the name of an evil trickster God from the 18th Century.
