Evaluation Task One - Title of the Film

Here are a number of screenshots taken from our trailer. All of these screenshots have some important input to our trailer whether it is setting a location or introducing a new character. This part of the evaluation reinforces why we had put some shots in the trailer.

Title of our film:

Over time, it took a lot of thought for producing a film title, we both (Dan and I) decided to go for the film title 'More Than Human'. This took a lot of thinking time to try and come up with the title, this is due to us going through different situations and positions and trying to apply a number of names to try and fit the genre of our film, which is a found footage horror film. We got the idea from many different found footage films, which helped increase a more effective horror title. Below is the names of some found footage films that helped in the process of deciding a film title.
  • Grave Encounters 1 + 2
  • The Blair Witch Project
  • The Paranormal Activity 
  • As above, so below
  • The Devil Inside
  • Cloverfield
  • A Night in the Woods
  • Diary of the Dead
  • The Collingswood Story
  • Unaware





The title above, is one of the fonts we used to try and use to help fit our genre, but we felt like that this was a bit to much as we researched many different found footage horror films and they have a plain, computerized, font which has an effect on the audience.










The title above is on a black background and in a plain, computerized font called "Mathematics" which gave the trailer a more of a found footage horror effect. We decided on this as we both felt it would increase the tension and also due to the white writing contrasting the black background, we were going back to the traditional horror conventions.


One reason why I felt this was a good decision for our specific trailer is because we had a lot of dialect in the form of text on the screen and so we had to make this piece of text more important than the rest and thus we put it at the end as it will be the last thing the audience remembers. People tend remember the start and end of any piece of information and that was the reason why we put it right at the end.   
We also knew that we must differentiate the title from the rest of the text dialogue within the trailer. We kept the font the same as all trailers have a conventional "One Font" system to not over complicate it and we also followed this
