Possible Tag lines


When thinking of features to use in my film poster I thought it would be best to include an effective tagline as this gives a small hint of the narrative to the audience but at the same time creates enigma as the audience would feel curious. The tagline would have to be effective and grab the audience’s attention as I considered many taglines and had to choose from one.

‘Incoming Call.. Death’
The tagline shows the narrative well as in the trailer we see how each incoming call leads to death as this would make the audience curious as if to how can these suspicious calls lead to death and what story is their behind it. Eventually towards when considered I thought this tagline would create a decent amount of tension and doesn’t give away the narrative completely as I decided this would be used in poster.

‘Would you pick up your call?’
This tagline is suitable to include in my horror poster as this is a rhetorical question which is asked to the audience which would make them instantly curious as this would make them come to watch the film, it also tells a good part of the narrative to the audience as it doesn’t give too much information away. When considering using this as my tagline my group considered how something similar to this quote had been used in our trailer as an intertitle as I decided to drop it from my choices of options.

‘Death calls once’
This was an intertitle which was suggested from a friend which I found interesting to use as a tagline within my horror poster as it could appeal well to the audience. I found interesting that the title also connotes how death only happens once and on the other hand when looking at it from the narrative ‘death calls once’ signifying how death only comes to the people who answer their phone. This also starts to become more obvious to the audience in some cases as they could easily understand the narrative without watching the film which is why I dropped it from my choices of options.
