Deconstructions & Thriller Ideas

Deconstructions
LOOPER
Connotations: A looper has no defined meaning. As the film is a sci-fi action thriller then Looper in this context could be some sort of being or a job as most sci-fi's are based in the future. Looper could have something to do with time travelling (Loops through time).   
(One word title)

Typography: The font is a modern and sci-fi style. The light coming from behind the title is blue with a bright white centre. It follows along with the typical sci fi style font which is sans serif (Basic and Simple). The lettering is all in capitals so its easier to read but also the sci fi style follows this pattern. You'd find capitals in computer coding possibly? We can gather that science is involved from the present + because its not the stereotypical font style you'd find in a period piece of film work.   
THE CABIN IN THE WOODS
Connotations: The title suggests the plot line to the story is about a cabin in the woods. By putting "The" in front of it means the cabin is of some importance, The Cabin not A Cabin. The title sets the scene of where the film takes place.  

Typography: The font type looks like Times New Roman. The points and bendy curves in the font give it a essence of horror about it. The scratches over the text imply a darker atmosphere and meaning. Horror Thriller?  The scratches could be from nails (trying to get away) or the dragging acorss the floor like in one of the many paranormal activities. The black stands out against white, the white is almost like a paper texture. In captials once again (Easy to read).

Thriller Ideas
Idea 1:

Plot: A girl/boy is being stalked by sending random and threatening messages like "I watch you sleep" or "Why is your skin so soft?". This then builds up to when the character gets lost on a friends camping trip and the Stalker follows him into the wood. They get further and further into the woods trying to find a way out but is unable to. They then face their stalker in the woods......

Possible Location: Bintree Woods (Spooky as well as peaceful. Echoes)

Idea 2:

Plot: A teenage girl/boy mourns the death of their father after he is murdered but the murderer is never caught. The teenager is then convinced the murderer is still out there and asks the police to keep looking, when they say no the teenager goes looking themselves. Eventually tracking down the murderer and finds out the father owed money. The debt still needing to be paid, the teenager runs for their life. It ends with the murderer being caught by the police and the teenager in a wheel chair from being hit by a car while on the run from the murderer.   

Possible Locations: Drayton? Norwich? Fakenham? Town based locations

  1. Both plausible ideas. I like your interpretations of the titles, too.
