Intertitles - Planning

When researching film trailers we noticed that many of them had intertitles featured. The majority of the films used these to either direct the narrative or state institutional information like release date or actors and actresses names. An example of one of the films were "When a stranger calls" and "1408". We then decided than we wanted to include intertitles to tell the narrative during the trailer and use minimal dialogue. By using these and not having much dialogue we thought that it would give the trailer a more mysterious feel and leave people wanting to know more. Our intertitles consisted of red writing on a plain black background, we done this as we thought the more simplistic look here worked best. 

Some of the intertitles we used were:
'Based on true events'
'A controlling boyfriend'
'An interfering ex'
'A damaging relationship'
'How will you escape...'
'When you are...'
'Under Control' 

We felt that these were a good option to use although the class thought we needed more dialogue we disagreed and used the intertitles to explain the narrative instead. By doing this we believe that it gives the trailer more suspense and tension.
