Titles and text within a trailer can come in a variety of sizes, fonts and colours to bring to light many aspects such as emotions and genre of the film.
Titles:
The title is there to be the most striking in font, size and colour as this needs to be the most memoral visual the audience see when viewing the trailer. When looking at titles from Eden Lake, Sorority Row and House at the End of the Street they had many things in common. The text is bold and placed on a black background to make the writing stand out evenmore. Only one colour is used for all the word/s in order not to distract the the viewer with to much other than the singular colour.The colour schemes for thrillers seem to be, red or white with can connote death, danger, purity, blood etc. Occasionally other colours are used such as yellow; altough this does not suggest death, danger etc it still is so bright that it draws you directly in.
Our film title is in a deep red and the wording is of a place where the film is set. The title does not give to much away however it does have some aspects which dig deeper. These are the words 'queen' and 'war'.
The word war within the whole title tells the audience there is going to be a fight/ battle of some kind. The word queen within QueensDown highlights to the audience that there is a woman who is in charge and on top. Within our trailer we see a girls struggle to fight the perpetrators, but within the film it envolves that eventually the fight is over and the girl comes out on top.
Additional text:
Text within the trailer is prominant in thriller trailers to help the audience grasp what is happening as the shots are very fast. The text is usually in a statement form in order to inject the audience with information. There are usually three or four blocks where text is inserted and although each statement works togther to build up a setentence or sceniro all flashes of text make sense on there own.
The text is in white in order to constrast the black background. By having the text in white it grabs the audiences attention drawing them into the words and making them think.
