Typography for the Title Sequence
Here I have devised the choices for the fonts to use for the title sequence, at the moment I believe we are going with the lucky typewriter font but I feel it is important for us to look at all options rather than deciding straight away as it is important to make the best decisions in order to get the best grades. I would prefer to go with the 'Harting' font as I believe the style of it fits our target audience. The simplistic yet rough and writing resembles the idea of a thriller perfectly. It is important that we make these decisions as a group and communicate about the decisions tat are being made although I do feel strongly about this font as I feel that the 'lucky typewriter' font does not appear to fit in with the thriller genre and would not look right in my opinion I think that as a group we need to re-evaluate the situation, create a few test titles and as a group decide which fits our narrative and our opening sequence the best.
Overall, we have decided to go with the last font, it is called 'Harting'. It looks as if it has been scratched and has a thriller feel to it. It creates meaning to the audience through the way it presents itself through different colours on the screen. The first two fonts above seem to simplistic and do not look scary at all and does not create the correct meaning for the audience. Due to our research, we knew that certain fonts such as the second in the list above would not fit in with the codes and conventions of a psychological thriller; this means we would find it hard to justify why we used a font like that in the evaluation and also it would not suit the mood of the opening sequence meaning we were not getting the highest marks possible.
