AM: Font and Title Development



One word titles such as Brick (Johnson, 2005), Se7en (Fincher, 1995) are quite effective as titles themselves, and in marketing. They can be striking and memorable if used effectively. So, here are some examples and reasoning behind some one word titles;

Cane – The Antagonist's main weapon, he relies on it to walk (Mild disability), used to knock the protagonist out before he is taken to the cellar.

Lurk – “Lurking” is a phrase often used on the internet in forums and such social and media sites. It refers to a user observing people via listening to them, following their internet activity and/or posts without contributing or necessarily knowing the lurked victim. Lurking is often derogatory and has connotations of a creep, or loner. The word itself also has a unique acoustic value, which would resonate in the audience’s memory.
Others:

Don’t Look Down

Down You Go! – This title satirical Implications, because of the possible friendliness and enthusiasm in the exclamation mark, however the genre would suggest otherwise. This may be difficult to portray as you could never be sure that the audience reading is interpreted as the same as the intended meaning.

  1. I prefer the name 'Lurk' aswell. With this placed in the corner of a title scene it will replicates the movement and mood our group is going for.
