Immediately it became clear that the majority of films of this nature had used a black background, and more often than not, the title itself was either colored in red, or white. Evidence of this is shown in the images below. Therefore from this we concluded that our title should be against a black background, and we are more in favor of coloring it in red.
Black is going to be used for the background of our title, this is because it is seen as a sinister color, with connotations of death, evil, and darkness. Darkness is a key connotation as our trailer is based around a woman having nightmares.
Red is the main color we are considering using for our actual title. This is because it is commonly associated with horror films due to t's connotations of blood, passion and anger. However these connotations aren't particular relevant to the story line of our trailer, yet red still seemed to be a suitable colour.

Ultimately we decided to use white as the colour of the main title. This is because after discussing it, we concluded that if the title for our film was in red this would suggest to our audience a more blood-filled, gory horror film, when this is not the case. Our film includes a paranormal, ghostly theme, which in turn is connoted by the colour white. This is why we decided to change the colour of our title as it seems more suitable, and appropriate.
We browsed the website 'DaFont' in search of an appropriate font for our film title 'Somnuim'. We specified which type of font we were in search for by browsing the horror category, in which we found numerous fonts to consider. The font we chose matched the scratchy effect used persistently in our tasks, which became the style of our film. Below is an image of the style of font we decided to use.
