Potential Taglines

I have come up with a selection of possible taglines that will fit my film well. When creating these taglines, I tried to give away as little possible to the audience, while also trying to lure them in and make me want to see my film. These taglines are rough ideas, and I will be continuing to research more taglines in order to find the perfect tagline to suit my film.

FIGHT OR FLIGHT!

NOBODY EVER NOTICES THE CLEANER!

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN ASKED TO KILL THE WOMAN YOU LOVE?

KILL OR BE KILLED!

Taglines - Research

I analysed numerous taglines from various different films from the Thriller genre. I did this because it would give me a very good understanding of what is expected when it comes to taglines, and the effect is intended to have on the audience. Taglines are important because, apart from the name of the film, it is text related with the film that teases the audience on what happens in the movie without giving much away, and tends to be at the forefront of the marketing company of the film.

Here are a selection of taglines:

Seven - Seven deadly sins. Seven ways to die
Sin City - There is no justice without sin
Inception - Your mind is the scene of the crime
Zodiac - There's more than one way to lose your life to a killer
The Prestige - Are you watching closely
The Dark Knight Rises - A fire will rise
Leon: The Professional - If you want a job done well hire a professional
The Bourne Ultimatum - Remember everything Forgive nothing
Basic Instinct - Flesh seduces. Passion kills
Taken - They took his daughter. He'll take their lives
Interstellar - Mankind was born on Earth. It was never meant to die here
