Font and title research and planning
- 1. Font and Title Research and Planning The 'D' holds significance in the title because it refers to the next line 'Devil' which conflicts the statement from the segment of the well known prayer 'Our Father.' The letters of the 'D' and the rest of the letters on the second line are enlarged which connotes that evil has more power over good. Also, 'Devil' looks stained with dots which perhaps could be blood. This gives a dirty look to the title. Overall, it establishes that the horror film is disturbing as it could possibly have graphic gore scenes which is suggested from the title.
- 2. This title looks very appealing as it has one letter that is reflected horizontally which works well as it refers to the concept of mirrors. From this title it could refer to bad hallucinations as the concept of the mirror could blur what the characters see in reality. Also, the significance of red is very conventional in horror films. It represents death and blood which gives the film a dark and unsettling tone.
- 3. The title looks dirty which also links to 'Deliver us from Evil' as they both have this appeal. The title here looks more rusty which could refer to the 'skeleton' perishing which gives the dark tone of the film. Also, the 'E' which was replaced by '£' looks very bright, giving the sense that it's shining. It could suggest that the key holds significance in the film. Possibly hope by the use of colour shown on the '£'.
- 4. This title appears very scratched and the harshness of the lines suggest that it has been written by someone who is frustrated as he writes with what looks like they are filled with fiery and rage. This use of style gives the impression that the killer is a psychopath whose intention is to kill. Especially, the title sounds striking which gives the impression that the killer is going from one person to the other. This definitely makes it clear that this film is categorised into the horror genre as it uses this style to refer to the killer.
