Titles: Fonts

Yesterday Imogen and Charlee began to look at fonts to use for the titles. As we're making a horror-thriller we decided that it would be smart if we use a font which is fits in with this. 


This was the first font they considered. Personally I think this this would be a safe choice as this font is a font that was specifically designed to look imposing and strong. It would suit our films titles although the font is kind of cheesy, the decaying letters and tall letters is something i feel has been used a ton before and I personally think a different font would be better.

The second font that was looked at is also quite spooky and I like the way they letters are thin and creepy, unfortunately it doesn't really fit in with the theme of our film. The thin letters and curves make the letters seem almost quite feminine which isn't conventional for a thriller film, especially ours when our protagonist is a male. Fonts in thrillers tend to be sans serif and quite bold and bright which this one isn't. This font is one we most probably will not be used in our title sequence.




The third font which they proposed was this, it's very similar to the first one however we have agreed that we prefer it as it's big, bold and a conventional style of font for a thriller. This along with the slight difference in height between the letters which we think look quite creepy is wy we will be using this font in our title sequence.

This font is called 'Dirty Headline'.
