2. The Fault in Our Stars
The Fault in Our Stars is a text that
we have gained the most influence for
our short film.
As for designing a title we felt it would
be beneficial to follow some of the
conventions used with it as the film
targets a similar audience.
The font appears to be wrote as it is
not serif and is all in capital letters.
Furthermore, the fact it appears to
have been wrote in chalk would make
the link to it’s innocent nature as it
would give the connotation of a child
writing their story , thus a child
narrative voice.
Also the title used the colour blue
which is another feature we use within
our film as it gives the connotations of
a freedom or the lack of.
3. Endless Love
Similarly, the teen drama
‘Endless Love’ uses the
colour scheme of blue and
white to show innocence and
purity in the story being told.
This is typical of teen
romance films as it presents
the idea of first love and how
powerful this is.
In contrast, this title used a
simple clearly typed font that
could perhaps draw more
attention to the actual words
“Endless Love” suggesting
how the story is about a
relationship that started from
the beginning and will never
end.
4. My Sister’s Keeper
Alike the other two titles
this title uses white text
against a pale blue
background.
It is clear that this feature
should be used within our
film title as it would give
the connotations of pure
and teenage love.
This title from My Sisters
Keeper also used a typed
font which again could
bring more focus to the
typed text in that the story
is based on a sister
relationship.
5. What will be the main features
in my title?
As I have looked through a number of titles, I
can establish the strongest features in each
and the approach I would like to take with my
own title. Firstly, the colour blue and its
connotations would be an ideal background or
font colour and would follow the conventions
of a teen drama title. Secondly, the font style
will appear more written than typed as I think
this will symbolise the fact that it is a young
person telling her story and who she made
the promise to .
