Here are a number of screenshots taken from our trailer. All
of these screenshots have some important input to our trailer whether it is
setting a location or introducing a new character. This part of the evaluation reinforces why we had put some shots in the trailer.
The title of the film:
We chose our title to be called More Than Human. There
was a lot of deliberation of where we should place the title as we were putting
it in different positions during the draft process. We noticed that other
trailers try to give it as much prevalence as possible and we also followed
this convention as we finally decided to put the title at the end of our
trailer.
One reason why I felt this was a good decision for our
specific trailer is because we had a lot of dialect in the form of text on the
screen and so we had to make this piece of text more important than the rest
and thus we put it at the end as it will be the last thing the audience
remembers. People tend remember the start and end of any piece of information
and that was the reason why we put it right at the end.
We also knew that we must differentiate the title from
the rest of the text dialogue within the trailer. We kept the font the same as
all trailers have a conventional "One Font" system to not
over complicate it and we also followed this.

The title above, is one of the fonts we used to try and use
to help fit our genre, but we felt like that this was a bit too much as we
researched many different found footage horror films and they have a plain,
computerized, font which has an effect on the audience.

Here is a screenshot of the title right at the end of the
trailer. The title above is on a black background and in a plain,
computerized font called "Mathematics" which gave the trailer a more
of a found footage horror effect. We decided on this as we both felt it would
increase the tension and also due to the white writing contrasting the black
background, we were going back to the traditional horror conventions.
