Planning: Title

 Intro

    Since the storyboard has been completed, my group and I have decided to work on the title and movie poster for our short film. We planned that we needed to come choose specific colors, typography, and poster images. In addition I have to know when and in what way the title will appear.

Within my group we all began thinking and coming up with ideas for the kind of themes we are aiming for.  We concluded that the title should convene with the central theme or main idea of the film opening The way we came up with this is how the killer uses the judicial system we have today as a way of deciding the fate of others, looking at murder crimes committed of the victims the killer murders. In the end we came up with, "A Brutal Sentencing". Since the killer kills according to finding his victims guilty or labeling them that way, he uses it in a way to "judge" or "sentence" somebody which we found directly correlates to the title of the movie.

                                      

The best way we to see what the title and all our conventions would look like in the actual movie, we decided to make a poster together, for the typography we chose "DM Serif Display" we chose this because back in my typography research sharp fonts such as this one are used a lot in horror films. The deep red color trys to convey a feeling of blood or injury, which is huge in slasher horrors. All of this together goes hand in hand with each other to portray the suspense and mystery we are looking for.

Title Placement: We are slotting the main movie title right after the killer is taken out, just before the daughter’s arrest scene.

Beginning Credits: ll cast and crew(cast list) names will appear during the opening "blueprint" scene, using a specific montage and  suspenseful background music to set the tone.

Goals: Now that we have a visual roadmap for the credits, my group and I need to focus on finalizing our rough draft of the script to ensure the timing of these elements works on paper to form our opening. Another goal is to finish our cast list to ensure we have actors to fit our stereotypes that are known in horror
