Film Titles- Bloodshed

The image below is of myself, Abbie and Niall making and editing our film title.

We decided to use the colours black, white and red as they stand out a lot. The colour black connotes death, fear and pain and the colour red is commonly associated with blood which will appear quite frequently in our film opening. The colour white contrasts with the black background making 'Bloodshed' stand out more. Also the colour white is very clinical and is commonly associated with hospitals. Hospitals frequently appear in thrillers, whether they are for psychological or physical reasons.  

We chose this serif font as we wanted our title to look like it had been hand written and scribbly. Also, when we saw this font we initially thought that the random splatters looked like splatters of blood which fits in perfectly with our trailer as Zac is found in the toilets with his wrists slit.

The images below show the different options we had as to where we wanted the knife to be placed within the title. 

The image below shows the finished film title. We decided to place the knife behind the word 'blood' as it stand out more than if the knife is behind the word 'shed' due to the colours contrasting.
