Zombie Films Title

Working Title Idea for Our Film Trailer…

We decided on a working title called “Tardigrade” for our horror/zombie film title, which are eight legged, segmented microscopic organisms . We thought his was a unique and creative idea for a zombie film title because it has never been used

before. It further links to the concept of our film because the microscopic organisms link to

the zombie virus created in our film. The way zombie virus spreads also links because Tardigrades are water-dwelling organisms, which is one of many ways our virus can

spread globally.

Examples of Existing Zombie Themed Film Titles…

It is a typical convention for horror/zombie themed films to have a specific type of font for

their film title. The font of most titles generally appear to be

distorted, either depicting slime, blood, scratches, etc.

For example…

The “Night of the Living Dead” film title consists of a scratched up font, appearing as though someone has carved and written the writing very violently. This creates effect because it links to the violence that the actual film consists of having.

The “Dawn of the Dead” film title consists of a bold red font, then transitions off the screen appearing as trickles of splattered blood. This is an effective example of horror/zombie film title representation because the colour red connotes blood, danger and violence, which are the main factors the storyline of the film consists of. The transition of the film title appearing as blood splatter further adds to the effect and highlights the gory side of the film.

When presenting our film title in our trailer, we need to think about factors such as, font style, colour and transitions.

There are various different ways and methods of presenting our film title in our trailer effectively that are shown within existing title presentations

and sequences.

The presentation style for our film title “Tardigrade” will be influence by the existing titles categorised in the horror-zombie genre previously

analysed .
