TITLE CHOICE
Ouija
Ouija links in with our opening title sequence of teenagers doing a Ouija board in a possessed house where an exorcism once occurred.
The black surrounding the Ouija board suggests the Ouija board is evil, death and mystery. This gives the audience a negative connotation because black suggests the unknown and people are afraid of what they cannot see. This also portrays that the Ouija board could result in death building the anticipation and tension.
Also underneath it says 'keep telling yourself it's just a game' suggesting the Ouija board isn't a game and that people just think it is. This makes the audience become more interested and curious why it isn't just a game leading them to watch the film.

Scream 4
Scream 4 suggests negative connotations due to the fact the background is black. This portrays death, evil and mystery to the audience making them curious what happens during this horror film. Also the number 4 which appears as the 'A' in the word 'scream' is in red which is related to blood and evil.
Font is also very important when trying to promote a film. The fact its white on black makes the title stand out but it also emphasises the 'M' and how its been edited to look sharp which links in with the story line because they use a knife to kill people.
At the top it says 'New Decade. New Rules' in red also suggesting negative connotations of death and blood. We've decided it would be good to use the colour red for our title to also portray the death and blood connotation so people will be more intrigued to watch the film.

The last exorcism
'The last exorcism' is a good title for a horror film because of the word exorcism. The definition of exorcism is the expulsion or attempt expulsion of a supposed evil spirit from a person or a place therefore this is good to have within the title because people automatically think of evil, religion and death. As well as the word exorcism there is a cross with Jesus on which portrays that the last exorcism will be from a religious view.
The word exorcism is also larger than the other words on the poster which attracts the audience to read the word 'exorcism' first and 'last' second. Both these words have connotations of evil. Words associated with 'exorcism' are cursed, possessed, demon and accursed. Also the words associated with 'last' are ending. These are all negative words that the audience will think of and will be more intrigued to watch the film.
The title is also in red which suggests blood as well as the blood spots on the title. This is an automatic response from the audience which can also imply that the film will have death and blood in making the film more interesting and the audience more curious to what will happen.
I have decided to use the colour red within my title to create the same effect as 'The last exorcism' suggesting to the audience that there is blood involved. Also because my title is 'Demons within' people will think of exorcism and possession creating a atmosphere and will intrigue them to watch the film.
