creation of title

This is my initial idea for the title of my production. From research that I have done, the black background and red text connotes a horror film.
For example, the title of the remake of Stephen King's 'Carrie,' the background is black and, although the text is white, you can see blood running down the letters. Even though this is quite simple, the audience still gets the impression that this film is of the horror genre.


The title from the film 'Insidious' is simple, yet  it gives off this unnerving vibe. The simplicity of the title design can create a juxtaposition to a complicated storyline.



This is a second title design I have created. This one is more animated in the sense that the background is different shades of red blended together to give the effect of blood. The text is more simple and it keeps the same colour scheme of black and red and is still simple.

I asked a group of people from my target audience (which will be similar to Carrie and Paranormal Activity 3) what they thought of this design. One of the people I asked said that it reminded them of the U.S television program American Horror Story.  There are some similarities between the my  title and the professional. For example, they both intend to unnerve the audience from the first glance.
