Ideas

Film title ideas

We came up with five different film title ideas and each asked 10 people each, which title they liked the most. This was my tally of the people I asked and The Ouija Deal was the most popular name, and Persevere was the least successful. Charli and Lois also had more people liking The Ouija Deal film title than any of the others, so we therefore decided that this would be the title of the film. Also, this fitted well with our idea for our storyline and plot so we were pleased that this was the most popular.

Emerson Quinn horror photography

I found this image particularly useful for our movie trailer. The angle of the shot is interesting because the way the girl is looking up makes it seem scary as her eyes seem 'possessed'.Also, the blood on the girls arms makes it seem as though something horrific has happened but the cause of this is unknown here. We want to try to recreate this because our trailer will not necessarily reveal the reasons behind the injuries that the characters will sustain. This image really helps us for ideas on how to do not only wounds, but also what types of shots we could use to create the horror style movie that we want.
