Freya Bruce looked at different fonts on the website 'dafont' to use for the opening title sequence of a film project. She considered graffiti, gothic, modern and sans serif fonts. One graffiti-style font fit the rustic shots of Brighton but did not clearly convey the thriller genre. A sans serif font was chosen as the main title font because it created a psychological and disjointed feeling appropriate for the antagonist. Another font caught their eye but was in lowercase, so a bolder sans serif capitalized font was selected for clarity and to emphasize the thriller genre.

1. Fonts and titles.

2. For my opening title sequence I
was looking at fonts, for this I
went onto the website ‘dafont’
and tried to find some ones that
were appropriate for our
opening title sequence. The
main categories I looked in for
fonts was graffiti, gothic,
modern and sans serif.

3. This was one of the first fonts we looked at, we
liked the graffiti style as it fits in with our rustic
shots of Brighton, giving off an almost dirty feel.
This would fit into to our genre as it would make
the audience link the dirty shots of Brighton and
the messy titles and therefore it would create the
pyschological sub genre we wanted. However we
felt that it wasn’t very clear and although it gave
off a psychological feel, it was clear that urban
decay didn’t fit the thriller genre massively.

4. We also think this will work
well as a contrast to our
colours we have as its quite
dull and dark so having the
black fits in well.
We chose this as one of
the main fonts to be
used in our opening
title sequence. We liked
this one because it was
a clear sans serif which
is what we wanted as
we felt it created more
of a psychological
thriller atmosphere as it
is disjointed and eddy,
which is how we want
our main antagonist to
be portrayed.

5. This font caught our eye as we liked the messy look,
and the way its presented on the page. We felt like
this would go nicely with our shots of under the pier.
However we chose not to use this as we didn’t like
the fact it was In lower case and wanted a more bold
font in capitals to really present the thriller genre.

6. we think that the way the
font looks dirty relates to
our shots around Brighton
and again fits in with the
thriller genre. Also, we think
it will contrast nicely with
our establishing shots.
We chose this to be
our main font for the
title of ‘released’. We
feel like it is very bold
and like a stamp,
relating to if someone
was really released
then it would be
stamped on to their
records. We like this
because it is sans serif
and we wanted that
as it is more powerful.
