Character Names and Film Titles

Character Names

When it came time to choosing my Characters I simply brainstormed all the different types of characters I could analyse. For example I wanted the Film crew to all have relatively normal names as they should reflect the average University student and also as they aren't all formally introduced in the Trailer their names wouldnt't really play a significant role. I decided to keep the actors own names, which made it a little less confusing during filming!

'Larry' - The director and leader of the group. He is dominant, arrogant and assertive, he is also the first to spot any sight of the demon.

'Holly'- The 'dumb blonde' and 'sacrificial lamb' within the trailer. She is bubbly, full of energy and also the first of the characters to be killed.

'Joe' - The Joker of the crew. He is careless and reckless and can usually be found trying to scare the other members of the crew.

'Claire' - The interlectual member of the crew. She is constantly warning the other members that there is something wrong with the student halls. I have chosen her as my final girl to follow similar codes and conventions as she is not reckless within the trailer and is by far the most intelligent.

Ideas for the main character of the murdered student:

'Emma'

'Karen'

'Sarah'

'Megan'

'Jessica'

'Shannon'

'Katie'

I have chosen to use the name Katie as it is an incredibly popular and modern name in which the target audience can relate to. Because it is so normal, this will add to the scare appeal of the narrative as my target audience will feel that if something as awful as this can happen to a normal girl then it could also happen to them.

Film Titles

When it came to deciding a suitable name for my film, I started to look at existing Supernatural horror films to find inspiration. I then looked back to my GCSE work in which I produced three perfume adverts. I remember googling different names and identities when I came across Boss Femme. A lightbulb went off in my head which made me wonder if I would be able to use a Typical horror phrase but translate it into another language for a more gothic effect. For example:

Devil - Diablous 'Latin'

Terror - Terrore 'Latin'

Demon - Daemonium 'Latin'

However, I wanted the title to reflect more about Katie's story and why she is so vengeful and horrific. As the narrative follows her entry into University and her death, the audience will feel like they know her and may feel some sort of sympathy for her.

'Vengence'

'Katie's Story'

'No Proof'

'The Unwanted'

'Tresspass'

'The Death of Katie Collins'

'The Demon'

'Daemonium'

I have decided to use the title of The Unwanted as I feel it sums up what the narrative is all about. Katie was always apprehensive about University and just at the moment she begins to enjoy herself her innocent life is taken leaving her without a future and a chance to live the life shes always wanted. Katie then feels the film crews unwanted attention so she feels that the halls are her dominium and that no one shall tresspass it.
