Font Research

For my opening credits, I will need to choose a font which is effective and clear to the
audience. I looked at different opening credits and other forms of advertisement such
as posters and trailers. After looking at 1001Fonts.com, I selected my favourite fonts
which would be suitable for my genre of film and my audience.

I liked this font because of the hand

written effect, similar to the one we
see in Seven. The thin, untidy font
looks hand written which could link
to the idea of the files, created by
the antagonist. Allowing the
audience to have a uncomfortable
connection with the antagonist. I do
feel that this font is to calm,
compared to the font in Seven, so I
will not be using this font.

The disconnected font, all in

capitals connotes the idea of a
disconnected or insane person
which is what I want my antagonist
to portray. The block letters allow
the title to stand out well, which is
intimidating to look at. I will
consider this font when editing.

I like the scratched style on this

font, where the edges are spiked
and connoted as intimidating.
Which is an element that I would
like my antagonist to be towards the
audience. Furthermore, when
looking at different fonts, I have a
preference for fonts which are bold
and stand out better. For example, Asqualt, the font above is bold where as Ghastly
Panic is too narrow and unrealistic. Therefore, I will not be using this font when
editing.
 I have chosen to use the font Big
Caslon Medium as I feel the detached
effect is threatening, but is bold
enough for my production. I have
chosen the font in white, because I
think the contrast in colours is effective
and common in Thriller films.The black
is almost overpowering the white, my
idea is that the antagonist eventually
overpowers his victims. However, there is a nice balance which enables my
audience to be scared enough but still asking questions on what is to happen.
