Tagline research
I am going to have to come up with tag lines on both my poster and teaser trailer that are typical for my genre. Therefore I am going to research and look into tag lines that come up on thriller posters, to get an idea of what they consist of and if any patters occur.
1. Get out
- Just because your invited, Doesn't mean your welcome.
- Do you belong in the neighbourhood.
2. The Roommate
- 2,000 colleges. 8 Million Roommates. Which one will you get?
- Must be willing to share...everything killer personality a plus.
3. Split
- Kevin has 23 distinct personalities. The 24th is about to be unleashed.
4. Don't breathe
- This house looked like an easy target. Until they found was inside.
- Don't move. Don't think. Don't even breathe.
5. The Call
- There are 188 million 911 calls a year. This one made it personal.
6. The shallows
- What was once in the deep. Is now in the shallows
- Not just another day at the beach.
7. Nerve
- We dare you
- Kiss a stranger
- Accept, Reject
8. Hush
- Silence can be killer
9. The snowman
- Mister Police. You could have saved her I gave you all the clues.
- Soon the first snow will come and then he will kill again.
- Soon the first snow will fall and the hunt for a kill begins.
10. Orphan
- There's something wrong with Esther.
- You'll never guess her secret.
11. The gift
- Not every gift is welcome.
- The sins of the past will become the present.
- Just because your done with the past doesn't mean the past is done with you.
12. Knock Knock
- Some doors should never be opened.
13. Lucy
- The average person uses 10% of their brain capacity. Imagine what she could do with 100%.
14.The purge
- One night a year all crime is legal.
- Survive the night.
- Reminder all emergency services will be suspended. For a 12-hour period during.
15. Gravity
- Dont let go
16. Sinister
- Once you see him, nothing can save you.
- Have you seen him?
17. Dark knight
- Why so serious ?
18. Insomnia
- A tough cop, A brilliant killer, An unspeakable crime.
19.Flightplan
- If someone took everything. You live for. How far would you go to get it back?
20. Disturbia
- Every killer lives next door to someone.
21. The glass house
- Be careful who you trust.
22. Wind river
- Danger comes with territory.
23. Intruders
- They should have left her alone.
24. Prisoners
- Every moment matters
25. The debt
- Every secret comes with a price
Having looked at all these tag lines, there are a number of conventions that come up a lot. A lot of the tag lines use reference to genre such as words like 'killer' which contains a sense of threat and mystery. They are all short and punchy, which is good as they stick in the viewers mind. They also use a lot of direct reference to the audience by using the word 'you'. This involves the audience and helps them to connect with the film. Having looked at tag lines and spotted these conventions I will try to include them in my potential tag lines which will appear on my teaser trailer and poster.
