Evaluation Activity 1- Screen Grab - Title






The title font of the film is called 'Necrotype'. This refers to the title of our film - 'Necr0sis', which is defined as the death of most or all of the cells in an organ or tissue due to disease, injury, or failure of blood supply. This is relevant for the genre of film we chose to make as zombies usually have had a disease, or failure of blood supply, which leads to their zombification. The simple black background behind simple black/white text was used to emphasize the actual word, if we had anything else in the background, it may have over complicated the few seconds of screen time that the title has, and may have made audiences distracted from the meaning behind our title, the black and white text also means that the title is simplified. The title taking up almost the whole screen shows the strong, masculine theme of the trailer, which is also reinforced by the use of capital letters. Having a smaller title, in lower case would be seen as weak, and subverting conventions of horror films.
