This title as a whole represents the horror genre really well. As a group we chose the name 'Defaced' as it links really well with the plot of our trailer. Our trailer indicating that the killer/ torturer is specialising in injuring their patients' face. For the audience, seeing the title will automatically be able to put an image into the audiences head and they might be able to guess what happens.
The font we chose as a group also gives off the stereotypical horror vibe. The title in this font looks as if its been slashed up by a knife relating to classic horror films where the main weapon used is some sort of sharp bladed object. |

show links in movies and posters
As you can see by the poster, the title of the film 'Sinister' has been used in a very effective font and positioned in a way in which the audience can easily recognise and distinguish from any other horror movie out there. The layout of the text shows that in between each letter there is a reasonable sized gap which in itself can give an eerie feel to it, along with the shadow effect on each letter, potentially representing the demons and ghosts that are used in the movie. Also the colour used in the title text is black which again represents and gives off a 'dead' or 'paranormal' vibe to the audience which that in itself can put the audience on edge and allow them to understand what the movie is going to be about. The font, colour, layout along with the image underneath the text completely coincide with the name of the film. It's all 'sinister'.
Saw
The way the title has been created shows an 'unorganised' and 'odd' representation. Its because it all seems irregular and will make the audience believe the film is going to be obscure and 'messy'. It allows the audience to make many more judgements about what may occur throughout the film and may decide its predictable, but again due to the title being mismatched the audience then might think that anything can happen. The colour of the text, being black, almost like a very dark blood red colour, shows that within this film you are bound to see some very gruesome parts that may too restricted for certain age groups. But this then can mean that
American horror story
The titles for American horror story have a unique presence and look about them that the audience can easily recognise as being this specific horror film series and make it identifiable as to what they're watching. The font is in simple bold text, which means if the show can relate to the title text, it could be saying that the show gets straight to the point with all of the different scenes and horror attributes.
