Title ideas for my film opening



From the images above and to the left, my group and I have designed a mind map of ideas for our film opening title. Our film opening is based on a teenage sleepover where two teenagers are playing around with tarot cards, eventually they're in danger as a serial killer is on the loose and breaks into their home. The two teenagers try to find a way to escape, however they may not make it in time to reach to safety.
In conclusion, For our film opening ideas we have brainstormed ideas for our title and we have decided to use 'The sleepover' as the final title for our production. We chose this title because we unanimously decided that this title summarises the plot of our film opening  but also leaves it open to interpretation as to what happens at 'the sleepover' that would make our film conform to the conventions of the horror genre.
Furthermore, horror/thriller genre film titles are usually short, which makes it more aesthetic to the target audience. For example Ouija; Insidious; Get Out; Psycho and The Shining. Also, my target audience which is aged between 16-24 and using the theory of Young et al. the category of the audience will be C/D. Stereotypically, teenagers are not usually interested in long titles as they would think that the film will be boring, therefore short titles are more eye catching due to there being more room on posters or other advertising strategies and therefore the title can then be made to be bigger and bolder, which attracts the target audience.
