Potential Titles To Use In The Trailer

These are the potential titles that could be placed in between clips in the trailer. I feel having the right titles in my horror trailer will make it look better and make an audience want to watch more of it, I created a mindmap using a website called 'Text 2 Mind Map', having a mindmap is easy for me to visually organise the information that I had thought of. These are just some suggestions I've put forward to my group for the titles in the trailer, there are some really strong potential ones and there are others which I'm set on not having. In our group we have allocated different roles in the editing process and to help my role was to think of some titles. My favourite ones are 'A vengeance so strong' 'A fear so intense', the reason I like these are because they link with the narrative and are quite short and snappy. It's showing what the villain has come back for but not giving away what it was. I feel these would be effective if they go one after another and it builds up to having fast cuts near the end of the trailer. I have put words such as 'Obliterate' 'Eradicate' and 'Fear' as some ideas of what the villain may do. Obliterate and eradicate mean to destroy so with the narrative it could be that the villain will destroy the main girl in the trailer or it could be vice versa, the final girl defeating the villain like how it is in a typical horror movie. A convention of horror is the final girl surviving so it would make more sense with it being the final girl defeating the villain rather than the villain destroying the final girl. The title 'This Valentines Day' shows the time of when the film will be released. My group and I made the decision to have valentines day as valentines day is meant to be romantic and typically romantic films are watched on that day but we made it contrast by having a horror movie released on that day just to go against what the day is normally about.

'Consumed by evil' comes from the horror movie  'Evil Dead' that I watched prior to making my trailer. The title in evil dead said 'evil will consume you', I changed the words around so it wouldn't exactly be the same. I liked the title so much that I thought it linked with the narrative for my trailer so I mixed the words up.  The consumption of evil would come by the villain going after Riley (final girl). Riley's life will be consumed by Lilith (villain) as all Lilith does is attack her and stalk her. Riley's life will change after taking the necklace. 'The dead becomes awakened' could be effective as the villain has been awakened by the main girl taking the necklace. It connects well with the narrative and is short for the audience to see. I want the titles to be short as the audience may lose interest if they have to read some big phrases in the trailer. Titles should be kept minimal and blunt so that it evokes a scared feeling from the audience with the words used as well. 'Real fear will rip you apart' I like quite a lot as the main girl is meant to fear the villain. The word fear is highly associated with the horror genre as that's what feeling is evoked by the characters in the movies. They are scared of getting caught and killed by the killer.

I really like 'she didn't know that this would be her last mistake' but I feel that it may be a bit too long to use as a title. Also by using the phrase 'last mistake' it makes it seem as though the final girl is going to die. This subverts from what happens to the final girl, they are normally strong and are meant to survive in the film and destroy the villain. If we decide to kill the final girl, that takes us down a whole different route and her strength wouldn't be represented that well.
The ones that I really like, I will discuss with my group about which ones would be better and ask them if they have any others that they could think of.
