The Terror - Final Name

Terror
Noun

1. Extreme fear
" people fled in terror
synonyms: extreme fear, dread, fear and trembling, fright, trepidation, alarm, panic, shock

2. a person, especially a child, that causes trouble or annoyance
synonyms: rascal, devil, imp, monkey, wrench, scamp, mischief-maker, trouble maker.

I have chosen 'The Terror' as the title for my film becasue of the connotations and denotations surrounding the word 'Terror'.

(Sourced from Google ^)

The definition of the word ‘Terror’ has two main meanings, one being extreme fear and the other being the name for a child who causes trouble. This is effective for my film as the genre is horror/paranormally and the first denotation expresses fear. Fear is the emotion that I want the audience to feel when they see my film trailer so I think this works well. However the second definition of the word ‘terror’ is the name for a small child who causes trouble. The antagonist for my film is a young child who is going to cause all trouble and fear in my film so this also works very well with the name in which I have chosen.
I believe people will read the title of my film and instantly know that it is a horror film, this is effective for me as this could make the viewer’s read more about the film as they will already  guess the genre without even seeing the trailer. Making the audience read more about my film will almost always end up in them watching the trailer, meaning they should then want to see the whole film as a result.
