Title choices and connotations
The second title we chose was "This October", although we didn't give the exact date of the films premiere it does create a sense of anticipation which may make more people want to go see it. On top of that is also the fact that it is a common staple of trailers and would make ours look more professional. We also synced up the dialogue with the titles so when it came up the man protagonist says "Last October" this was to reinforce the title and make people remember it more.
In our final title we finished of our catchline in the trailer with "Everyone has to answer" this relates to the idea of the trailer as it suggests the protagonists impending fate as by face his guilt will lead to his demise. In the title we chose to make the word "Everyone" bigger than the rest of the titles because first of all it looked more dynamic and emphasized that the underlining issues raised by the ideas behind the film can effect anyone that being guilt can lead to your downfall.

In the end we chose to use four sets of titles, the first being "From the creators of Delirium" which we put in as it is a constant theme in many other professional trailers and gives a sense of professionalism. We also chose it as if it were a real trailer than people may be more inclined to see it if they had seen the previous film and enjoyed, as they would feel as though the quality of the next film would be the same as the last.
On out third title we began our catchline for the film that connected to the story of the film and what was happening in the trailer. It read " When Guilt Comes Knocking" This relates to the protagonists guilty conscious and the fact that its knocking is relates to the yuri who is eating away at his sanity. We made the word "Guilt" bigger than the rest of the title as we wanted it to stand out also the fact that its a keyword and it gives the title a stylish edge.
