Title attempt #4

Our fourth attempt at titles was what we deemed to be the most successful out of our titles. We liked the bold styling of the title as it is eye-catching to the audience, simple but effective as a whole. We decided that an animation would be ideal as the bullet holes we incorporated add to the action element of the film as the audience can automatically assume its genre and so would be more intrigued to watch it.

Title attempt #3

The third attempt at a movie title involved the prominence of the title as the main feature of the title. The styling was more of a western style which we believed would not suit the conventions of the action spy genre. Ultimately we liked the bold style of the writing but not the elements which cut into the words so we would have to conform to the expectations of our designated genre.

Title attempt #2

Our second attempt at a title mainly revolved around the idea that we would focus heavily on technological aspects of the trailer. This included the idea of a cyber battle or some sort of cyber attack to our supposed spy organisation through the use of a computer, phone or other such device. The end of the title was influenced by bitcoin; the online currency which was a primary idea for our trailer as an incentive to the bad guys. The title was going to dissolve into the many circles to help highlight the prominent role of technology in the trailer.

Title attempt #1

The sort of title which we are looking to have for our film needs to be simplistic and needs to stick in the audiences memory. We used Broadway as a font because it is very basic and over emphasizes the shape of the letters involved, the simple design of the logo conforms to the stereotypes of the action/thriller film,  The films in this genre usually have a simple title so it doesn't take the audiences attention away from the content of the trailer, films such as inception use really plain designs just so the name can come up but it won't take anymore time then is needed in the TV advertisement time.

This is essential for a production company because it is their budget which they have to dip into in order to advertise their film to a wider audience, this will help them to achieve a more loyal audience as well as an idea of what age range and gender prefer the film, for example when looking for an age range they can decide who would be the most likely to watch the film based off of a trailer and then they need to aim for that rating, e.g. action films are usually a 15 as they appeal to an older audience especially with films such as die hard, fast and furious etc.

End credit #3

The last set of credits we made are predominantly for the poster but we can also use them for our end credits, for example we could use this in our coming soon part of the end credits, this would help fill valuable space and could make it look more professional. We could pull it off separately as a split second shot at the end of the trailer, we could blend it in and even if just fills up a two second segment of our film it will still show the detail we went into.
