We decided to name our film 'Silent Night' because it goes well with the Christmas carol 'Silent Night'. It also works well with the horror aspect of the film, as it's quite creepy; the weird 'silence' is something that is quite often associated with horror movies. The word 'silence' also makes you think of mystery, of not knowing what is going to happen next. The word 'night' reminds you of darkness and is something alot of people are scared of. Putting the two words together gives you the feel of being alone in the dark, there is no sound anywhere, you can't see anything, and your just thinking of what could suddenly appear. This goes against the festive feel of Christmas and rather than feel warm and cosy, you actually feel scared an lonely.
Here is the first draft for the logo done by Tom on Photoshop.
The colours on the logo are quite dull, which is something that is not usually linked with Christmas. The Christmas tree shows you the Christmas aspect of the film, whereas the gothic writing, with the dripping blood shows you the horror side of it. Both of these put together create an interesting juxtaposition, because Christmas and Horror are two very opposite things and are not usually linked together.
