The document discusses choosing fonts for a romance film project. Three fonts were selected from dafont.com for the main title based on their thickness, formality, and handwritten appearance. Twenty people surveyed preferred the second font as not too formal and thick enough to engage viewers. A similar font was chosen for the credits to match the title font and provide consistency in the opening sequence.

1. These fonts I found on ‘dafont.com’, which provide a wide range of styles to choose
from. From the research I’ve done on coming of age films with the sub genre of
romance, I’ve learnt that the most commonly used font was one that looked
handwritten. This is to make it look innocent and pure, linking to the genre of the
film.

2. I chose three of my most preferred fonts from the ones on the previous slide and
put them to use:
The reason why I chose these three was because they’re all different in several
ways. For example, some are bolder than others and some look more
handwritten than the rest.

3. I used the three I liked and asked 20 people I know to see which one they liked
best and which one they believed suited the romance genre well. The second one
was the most popular as people thought it’s not too formal, unlike the bottom one
as it comes across more childish due to the lettering. Also, the thickness of the text
attracted them which is where the first one lacked its engagement due to how thin it
was. Even though it’s possible to make it bolder and I told those who mentioned
that it was too thin that it could be adjusted, they still chose the middle one.

4. Along with the font for our title, we still had to decide on what font to use for our
credits. Therefore, I searched for some on dafont.com with a similar style to the title
style and used the word ‘Director’ as a tester:
This font is extremely similar to the main title font which what
attracted me to it.

5. I then did the same survey as I did with the main title font and asked 20 people
for their opinion on which font they liked best:
The top font was the most popular as the people I asked said it best suited the
romance genre out of the three and was similar to the title font so there wont
be any major changes within the opening sequence – everything will run
smoothly.
