TITLES AND TAGLINES
Titles
Our Trailer
This our title of our trailer we called it Forsaken because the backstory of the killer is that he has been abandoned by everyone who he thought was on his side so he took to killing his victims, we chose this background for it because when you look it at the background you can say that the background goes well for the slasher as it looks like it is blood and white background in the form of an English flag. The font we used for the title is an Octin Spraypaint which gives it the look it has gotten, we were trying to go for a kind of blood type font but we came to end up having this font which went a whole lot better as the font went really well.
Halloween
This is the title of John Carpenter's Halloween, for the font they used ITC Serif Gothic to make it stand out they put the orange font which is one of the traditional colours of Halloween on a black background which a colour connotation of this is the fact things may be dangerous, as connotation of the colour can be seen as someone being a risk taker, there is even a pumpkin which is one of the more iconic Halloween symbols, which you could say this is a slasher as the pumpkin needs to be carved so you could tell it may be a slasher.
Friday the 13th
This is the title of Friday the 13th, they made the font of Friday the 13th an actual font it is called Friday the 13th. It is made to look like blood on a black background so that way people would of been able to know that it was a slasher film to make it more iconic they could have put Jason's mask with the title something or something similar to Halloween like something that is linked to the date of Friday the 13th which a lot of superstitions say that Friday the 13th is day full of bad luck, so they could of have something which resembles bad luck like say for example someone looking into a broken mirror with Jason behind them, but the font is just as symbolic so it doesn't really need something that relates to that day.
Taglines
Our Trailer
For our trailer we went with the tagline of "Feel the Fear" as this adds to the danger of what is going on in the trailer, we kept the Hashtag at the end of the trailer, is to show that you are meant to feel the exact thing the victim is meant to feel so in this case the emotion that is meant to be felt through the trailer is fear, in our poster we had the main focus being the mask which is what our trailer identifies with.
Halloween
The tagline for Halloween is "The Night He Came Home" this is a reference to Michael Myers returning to his home town town of Haddonfield and this where he killed his older sister when he was only 6 years old, he comes back 15 years later stalking high school students, what makes this symbolic for the Halloween film is the knife Michael uses to kill his victims. But it also has a pumpkin in the after image of the knife to show its at Halloween. It has also had more than just "The Night He Came Home" one of them was "The trick was to stay alive." which is a play on the Trick or Treat for Halloween, another tagline that they had for Halloween was "Trick or Treat... or die."
Friday the 13th
Friday the 13th had the tagline "They were warned... They are doomed... And on Friday the 13th, nothing will save them" the tagline which was used for the the theatrical tagline in the UK was "On Friday The 13th, They Began To Die Horribly, One......By One." this tells us that something bad is going to happen, normally when people do end up thinking about Friday the 13th where like it can be dangerous, however in some culture the number 13 is actually a lucky number where one of the tagline's for Friday the 13th was "Lucky 13? I think not." which means that instead of 13 being an unlucky number instead of a lucky number.
