Violent Night
The prompt for this project was to create a title treatment for a title also provided for us. I was given the film Violent Night (2022). When I was handed this project, I had no details about the film as it was still production besides the fact that it was to be a thriller.
Title Treatment Design
Before beginning to create title treatments and exploring the possibilities, I set out to research what style and look thriller movies have taken throughout the decades. My research and favorite title treatments are presented below.
Research Phase
Below is some of the rough sketching done in the initial ideation phase.
Ideation Phase
For the first version of my title treatment, I went with the colors red and white. As the project progressed, I learned that the movie was to deal with Christmas time, so I wanted to use some color that would both communicate danger and is used during the festive time of year.
Final Title Treatment Design 1
For my second treatment design, I added some more horror-like, grungy texture to convince my audience what to expect from the film. In this version, I used sharp letter forms to further communicate that sense of danger.
