Evaluation Task 1: Use of Titles

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

I used titles throughout my trailer to keep the narrative going and to split some of the scenes up. This intensified my trailer as it created a slower pace at the beginning, whilst ensuring that the narrative was continued and broken up effectively. I added transitions to these titles to create a more ominous effect, and I also used fades to black to create a greater effect between scenes. 

The font I used is quite conventional as it was bold and enticing. This type of font can be seen in other horror films and productions. I used a red and white colour scheme to highlight some words and indicate the horror genre. The swipe transitions I used on each of the titles also created an ominous effect to add to the horror genre. This is conventional as it indicates the genre and allows the audience to feel the ominous nature of the trailer. Other horror trailers use similar transitions and effects to make their titles stand out and add to the overall effect of the trailer - something I wanted to achieve with mine.
