Name Of Our Film:
When it came to choosing a name for our film that we are producing, we wanted to use a fairly short word which reflected some of the themes in our storyline. This proved fairly difficult due to finding a word which reflected themes of death, love and pain. In the end we felt the most appropriate word to use for the name of our product was, 'Forever.' We decided that the word forever was best suited because we felt it symbolised the theme of love, however the word itself is to vague for an audience to pinpoint any specific themes to, and so it could also easily be associated with other themes in our storyline.
90% of the people in my sample have agreed that the title of the film should be showcased either towards the end, or at the end of the film trailer. Again looking back at the film trailer deconstructions from; Atonement, Time Travellers wife and Inception, the title of the film is shown either towards the end of at the end in all three. This again appears to be a common film trailer convention used for a film trailer with any genre, as it was used in all of the existing media products that i previously deconstructed. Due to the results i retrieved and my deconstructions we have decided to position the title showcasing the name of our film right at the end, just before the release date in our film trailer. This will both keep the audience happy as well as make our film trailer comparable to exitsing media products in the industry, making our film trailer more authentic.
Other Titles In Our Film Trailer:
Other titles which we are going to use in our film trailer are:
- Production logo,
- Directors past successes,
- Actor/Actresses names,
- Tagline (broken down into two parts),
- Name of our film,
- Release date.
Backdrop Of Our Titles:
In question 5 from my audience research questionnaire 77% of the people in my sample agreed that titles in a film trailer should be displayed over a black screen. furthermore one of the film trailers which i deconstructed previously has titles which appear over a black screen, making it a common convention used for titles in film trailers. Therefore we had decided to stick with our audiences preference and showcase the titles in our film trailer over a black screen, this will also make our film trailer comparable to existing products as showing titles over a black screen is already being used in the industry today.
Size Of Our Titles:
In question 6 from my audience research questionnaire more people from my sample agreed that they wanted titles to be different sizes than the same. Again looking back at the film trailer deconstructions from; Atonement, Time Travellers wife and Inception, the titles are different sizes in all three. This again appears to be a common film trailer convention used for a film trailer with any genre, as it was used in all of the existing media products that i previously deconstructed. Due to the results we retrieved and our deconstructions we have decided to make our titles different sizes. We will differ the size based on importance, hence the title showcasing the name of our film will most likely be the largest title in our film trailer due to being the title we mostly want our audience to remember.
Font Of Our Titles:
From question 6 of my audience research questionnaire 99% of the people in my sample agreed that the font of the titles should all be the same. Only one of my film trailer deconstructions - The Time Travellers Wife, uses the same font for all of the titles in the film trailer. Therefore, this appears to not be a common film trailer convention used for a film trailer with any genre, as it was only used in one of the existing media products i previously deconstructed. However we have decided that our film trailer would be more successful if it appealed more to our audience and so we decided to stick with our audiences preference and make sure we used the same font for all of our titles:
The font we have decided to our titles is, Monotype Corsiva.
Colour Of Our Titles:
From question 6 of my audience research questionnaire more people from my sample agreed that they wanted titles to be the same colour. Again looking back at the film trailer deconstructions from; Atonement, Time Travellers wife and Inception, in two of them, the titles are the same colour. This again appears to be a common film trailer convention used for a film trailer with any genre, as it was used in two of the existing media products that i previously deconstructed. Due to the results i retrieved and my deconstructions we decided to keep the colour of our titles the same throughout our film trailer. This will ensure our film trailer is comparable to exit sing media products in the industry, making it more successful.
I also concluded from my qualitative audience research that It is obvious an audience notices the colour of titles used in a film trailer. All colours have specific connotations that an audience link to the genre of the film they are watching. Therefore it is important that we choose a colour for our titles that best represents our genre. We decided that the best colour to use for the titles of our film trailer is white. We decided to choose the colour white because for our titles for two reasons. the first reason being that the colour white stands out most on a black background than any other colour, attracting the audiences attention more vividly. Our second reason for choosing this colour is because white is a hard colour to decode, it doesn't have a specific set of connotations an audience would associate with it due to representing so many different things. Therefore using the colour white would easily reflect each aspect of genre which makes our hybrid genre, making the colour white the most effective colour to use for our titles.
