The document discusses using different fonts and styles for the title of a film trailer to convey the intended genre of horror. While an iMovie font may not achieve this, the author has experimented with a gray backdrop and thriller-style font that stands out and gives the impression desired. However, some viewers could interpret the font as comic or for a different genre like horror. Getting feedback from others on the team will help determine if this font choice is effective.
Creating a Thriller Style Title for My Film Trailer
1. INSTEAD OF USING IMOVIE TO MAKE THE TITLE OF MY TRAILER I THOUGHT
BY USING SOMETHING MORE SKILLED IT WOULD WORK BETTER. THIS TYPE
OF WRITING LOOKS VERY EFFECTIVE AND I LIKE HOW IVE USED A GREY
BACKGROUND INSTEAD OF BLACK. THIS WAS BECAUSE I THOUGHT WITH
THIS TYPE OF WRITING AND THE TEXT IT WOULD OF LOOKED MORE
HORROR SO IVE GOT TO KEEP MY GENRE RUNNING THROUGH THE WHOLE
TIME.
2. IM UNSURE ABOUT THIS STYLE OF WRITING AS IT COULD EITHER WORK OR IT COULDNT
IF ITS USED IN THE CORRECT WAY THEN IT WOULD WORK WELL ON THE TRAILER.
SOME FONTS MAY NOT JUST BE USED FOR THE TITLE OF THE FILM COULD BE USED IN
WORDS/CREDITS ON THE TRAILER ETC.
3. I REALLY LIKE THIS STYLE OF WRITING AS ITS QUITE A THRILLER TYPE WRITER STYLE.
THE PRINK LOOKS VERY EFFECTIVE ALSO COULD IMAGINE IT ON A THRILLER NEWSPAPER.
I WILL BRING THIS UP WITH THE REST OF THE TEAM TO SEE IF THEY LIKE IT AND HOPEFULLY
WE CAN WORK WITH IT.
A DOWN SIDE TO THIS FONT IS THAT WITH THE STYLE AND COLOURS BY FIRST REACTION
SOME MAY SEE IT AS A HORROR.
4. THIS STYLE WORKS VERY WELL AS THE ‘HEADLINE’ ACTUALLY STANDS OUT WHICH
IS THE IMPRESSION I WANT WATCHERS TO SEE.
A DOWN SIDE TO THIS IT LOOKS SLIGHTLY COMIC AS IT REMINDS ME OF ‘DENNIS THE
MENNIS’ BUT IF I USE IT THE CORRECT WAY COULD LOOK VERY EFFECTIVE.
