Titles And Subtitles
we have tried to use as little subtitles as possible in our horror trailer as we do not want to tell the viewers the complete stroy, but to give them an insight into what the storyline is and give them the urge to want to see the real thing. we will do this by using between 5-8 subtitles throughout our trailer and incorporating motion backgrounds to produce a more interesting set of titles that will relate to our horror sub genre of paranormal.
Here, we have created a set of titles which will be placed at the end of our trailer. in order to keep the suspense throughout the titles, we have used both two layers of motion backgrounds and sound. the motion backgrounds have been colour corrected to give a green, smoky effect, much like a disease or a metophorical image of the radioactive substance that in the film, creates the paranormal demonic enities. |
This screeenshot shows the editing window (left) and the action window (right) of our current trailer timeline on Final Cut Express. we have used a two -toned colour contrast on the subtitles on the left in order to represent the contrast between the sane victims and the paranormal state that the others are in.
on the right, shows the final title we will use in our trailer. this is going to be used to promote both our website and movie in total by introducing the web link and incorporating social media such as the facebook and twitter pages for our website as we know only too well what influence the social media can have on any media piece. |
