Poster: Title Planning

1. I went through fonts on Photoshop and the first one was too digital for a horror film and a film that's clown based. It didn't work well with the sub-genre of my movie and it fit more into the sub-genre of a paranormal movie. 

2. Similarly, I felt this font was too digital. However, this one did not have any frightening appearance about it. For my title, I wanted to achieve an affect that made it clear it was a slasher based sub-genre. However, this title was also more paranormal than slasher. 

3. This font was more specific towards my sub-genre as it had a playful font. There are sharp edges on the letters and it also gives the impression of a circus. However, the downfall of it was that it looked more childish than scary. 

4. This is the final font and it is the one I decided to use for my horror poster. This is because, the features such as; circus like font were specific to my narrative and sub-genre. Furthermore, I felt this also appeared to draw more attention than the other fonts did. However, I made the colour darker for my poster as I wanted to create the effect that the title is fading away. Which ties with the narrative of the characters in the short film, fading away one by one.

Playtime:

• Its a bit of a quick transition from the titles at the beginning to the start of the film.
• Cant hear whats been said, the wind is too loud. 
• The conversations go on for too long.
• The sound and tying of the shoe lace doesn't link. Could the sound come up with the balloon instead.
• You need the noise of the balloon bursting. The clown is still too obvious? Can you blur it? Why is he not trying to get away? Could the lamppost be in the way as he tries to get away?
• The flashback with the scream needs to be more prominent. 
• Clearer shot of the grabbing of the knife off the wall and the axe coming down. Its too quick.
• Axe attack is not very clear, when he's hit, blur it again like you have previously. 
• The water scene needs to be clearer - what is happening?
• More sound/noise needed when Rajan's being attacked to contrast this with the bird sang. 
• Vj ordering the taxi - The sound doesn't fit. He needs to be more panicked and a sense of urgency needed. 
• Get rid of the shot after he's got into the car. The door should shut and then jump to him in the back of the taxi.
• Vj needs to be scared and the taxi scene needs to be seen as a safe haven momentarily fulling us into a false sense of security. 
• The two clowns that come out of nowhere, it needs to be evident that there's two clowns from the start of the film otherwise it makes no sense.
