TYPOGRAPHY

This we have made using www.Picnik.com . We have decided to use this website as it is easy to use, as well as has many choices of fonts. 'Trapped in' is written in a rather messy font, as it looks dirty. This I really like, as it represents the real fact of being trapped, as in our case the girl is trapped in by her lover and violence is used against her, this is where the dirty part comes in. 'Love' we have decided to write in pink as it represents the girls feelings. We have also chosen a font which looks very hand made, this reminds of something that girls are most likely to doodle in their books while they are bored. And of course, the hearts, we have included these using 'Photoshop' as it gives of a more romantic effect. We like this design the most as everything used fits in with the narrative of the film, also it is rather catchy by the fact of bright colours used as well as bold text.

This is a very similar design to the first one. This is because the same type has been used for 'trapped in' as we thought that it works very well even if different text is added. 'Love' we have again written in pink representing  the feelings of Leila. This also looks hand written, which would you see in girls doodles. However, we do not like this design as much, as it is not as catchy. The fact of it not being catchy is because it is not as bold, and therefore it would not be very noticeable by the audience.
This I am very pleased with, as even though it is in black and white you are able to know that this film is a romance. This is because it includes a big and bold word saying 'love'. 'Trapped in' has been left the same, but it fits in rather well. This time the font represents the word trapped in as it looks trapped in it's self. The word 'love' looks bruised and also dirty, this also shows the dark side of what the film may be about. How ever, thriller has been put across mostly, and this is why this design would not work. To be able to attract both genders, both of their needs have to be included.
I am not too keen on this type of text, this is because the word Love is too sharply edged. Also some of the corners are curled up which may suggest a fantasy and not romance or thriller. I have kept the same font for Trapped in as I thought that it really works for the mysterious side of this font. The colours work rather well, as the light pink represents soft young love for Leila and the colour black represents mystery towards Danny.
This time the word love is rather girly as it has flowers on it. The colour has been left the same as it gives of the fact of romance and love. I am not too keen on this as it is a little bit too simple. Also it is not bold enough and therefore it is not very catchy. The words 'trapped in' look like they have not got a place where to go as it is much bolder than the word 'love'. 
This I personaly find very successful. This is because it looks like it has been drawn by hand. Also it has a cross, a skeleton and lighting in the text, this shows the mysterious side of the film. The colour pink again, gives of a soft and warm love effect which does not let the thriller reveal as much. I also like how 'trapped in' is on top of 'love' as it makes the audience read it first. 
This time the font of the words 'trapped in' have been changed. It is still rather similar to the one used before as it is worn out, once again the mysterious effect is given of. The word 'Love' looks like it has been taken out of cards and therefore it represents a game, this may mean that the film is a big game. The colours have not been changed as they work rather well together.
This I do not like as it is too dramatic with it being all over the place. Also the two fonts do not seem to go well together as one of them is sharp and looks like it has been painted and the other one looks like it has been drawn. Also, the title all together does not go with the film as it does not show the sides of both characters that well. 

Once again the font has been completely changed to see if anything different will work better. Also the color has been changed to bright red, this represent passionate love as well as danger. The font is rather mysterious as there are long lines and drips added to the words 'trapped in'. The word again looks like it has been taken from cards and once again it may represent a big game in reality.
This has worked out very successfully as everything is included in the word 'love'. This is rather clear as the words 'trapped in' are very simple. The word 'love' is again bright red which again gives of an effect of passion, love and danger. The splashes look like blood and this shows the thriller genre. Personally I am very happy with this title and I think it could be taken futher.
