Main Task: Talking Titles further Research

Through my research of titles for pyschological thrillers I came across a website with a powerpoint explain the main objects for a pyschological thriller:Locations, Mise-en-scene of costume and props/colours, sound and titles.What I found out from the power point is that titles can be placed into two sections: Over Image and Over Colour.

Research on Over Image for Titles:

Some pyschological thrillers such as Misery and Cape Fear has the title and credits appear on the image. Examples below;



As you can see from these print screens, the titles of the production team and the title Cape Fear itself are over the image on the screen.

Research on Over Colour for Titles:

In some pyschological thrillers films such as American Pycho and Memento, the title and the credits appear either on a black or white background. Examples below;





Main Task: Talking about Titles

Whilst discussing what titles we would like to use in our two minute opening of our film, we looked at psychological thriller films for inspiration. 
The Silence of the Lambs 
The titles were very interesting in this film, some of the words appeared backwards/upside down. For example, If I wrote my name: Jessi Kullar, my surname would appear backwards so that it spelt: ralluk. 
We thought, this was a very exciting concept of titles, which definitely fit our genre perfectly.Additionally, as the main actor in our film has schizophrenia, we felt that it mimicked her two personalities subtly. 
Black Swan
This entire film was a representation of two colours, black and white, the titles showed this. On a blank black screen, continous titles appeared in a classic white font which reflected the classical swan lake music used in the opening (helpful to us, as we too are using classical music).

Developed and Finalised Plotline
