FIlm Name, Questionaire Results

We are a group of A-Level media students studying at Sponne School. We have created this questionnaire to find out what our target audience would like the film name to be.


This is our blurb for our horror movie:
In 2001, a sickening event shocked the small town of Linford, when a 12 year old boy was killed in a hit and run. Terrified to come forward, the driver, Isabella is consumed with guilt and paranoia sets in. When her nightmares become reality, she questions whether her fears are paranoid or paranormal?
From Pinnicle Productions, comes 'The Retribution'; a sinister tale of a stolen innocence and the revenge that ensues.

The names we have narrowed it down to are (please circle 3):
The Retribution
Karma
Payback
The Revenge
vengeance
Avenging Angel
Fate

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Results

After conducting a questionnaire we have found that the most popular name for out film is the Retribution. The reason we chose The Retribution as a possible name for our film is because retribution means punishment or vengeance. The fits with our plot as the young boy is taking his revence on his killer.

Our Film Production Logo

This is our logo out group created for our film production company. We decided to use the word 'Pinnacle' as  is has positive connotations of being high up and therefore suggests our company has a high status. To fit with these connotations, the image we used features like clouds to represent the idea of being high. We decided to use black and white only for the logo to relate to the horror genre as we found this feature to be common.
