Font, Title and Connotations.

The font for the title is pretty conventional because it’s an unusual font and not what we are used to typing or even writing in. We also decided to have our names and roles in this font because it ties it all together and makes it look more professional.

Our film is called ‘Sunshine.’ We chose this because it is oxymoronic regarding the film, which is dark, gloomy and ominous. The connotation of sunshine is light and happy, which is the direct contrast to our film. We also decided that this was a good title because the actual kidnapping happens during the day, breaking the conventions of normal kidnapping thrillers, which normally happen when it is darker outside so that their identity is hidden. Because we did not film in the dark, we needed to come up with a way that the kidnapper’s identity was not revealed. We decided that the kidnapper would have a hood up and would always be facing away from the camera, showing only his back. The shots are quick and do not reveal much about the storyline. This works to our advantage because it heightens the tension because the viewer cannot really see what is happening.
