1. Identifying Genre

- How do they convey genre.
New town killers – The font chosen is written in upper case, it’s white which
makes it stand out from the red background. It seems quite formal and
dramatic so suits the genre of a drama. It’s very minimalist and does not
give away much about the film.
What does a title need to do to attract and audience for a film?
A title for a film needs to intrigue the audience as to what the narrative of
the film is about. It needs to give some information on the film and the films
genre. The font choice needs to complement this. It needs to have a
memorable name, so not be too long. Puns, poetic effects can help to make it
catchy. Not too culturally inclusive- could exclude others.
Title graphics
The title is in bubble writing so straight away is
targeted at teenagers. The front cover looks like a notebook and so it looks as
though someone has drawn this title on. The red bubble background stand

2. out as the rest of the page is white and so clearly shows that this is the title.
Also the red connotes to the word love as red is the colour of love and so
automatically connotes that the film is in the genre of romance. The size of
the writing is big compared to the rest of the writing on the cover. Around
the title are many little pictures which also look as though they have been
drawn on. This cover is targeted at teen girls as there are pictures of heart
and swirls which are linked to the female gender.
