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.
