Typography
- We looked at various different fonts that we thought would be appropriate to use for our films titles.
- To gain a better idea of what is commonly used for our chosen sub-genre of horror, paranormal, we each did an analysis of a title sequence from a film of the same genre.
- This gave us a far better understanding of the importance of colour, positioning, font, size and animation.
- We took inspiration from Insidious (Wan, 2010) for the animation of our main title and have decided that we will make it flicker at the end like candle light as this links with our production and has connotations of summoning.
- After taking inspiration from The Conjuring (Wan, 2013), we have also decided that the font will be white on a black screen as this is clear to read and the darkness connotes fear and mystery which is appropriate to this genre.
- Furthermore, keeping the main title black and white creates an eerie atmosphere.
- After choosing some different fonts which we thought were suitable we came to a final conclusion on the one we intend to use after receiving our questionnaire feedback.
Crimes Times Six
- We thought this would be appropriate as it has a scratched effect on it which connotes violence and fear.
Nightmare
- We felt that although this would be appropriate for a horror film, it wouldn't be as fitting to our particular sub-genre.
October Crow
- We thought that this font also had a scratched effect to it which would be effective for this sub-genre.
Northwood High
- This is the font which we have decided to use for the main title of our production. We felt that this was fitting for the location of our film (an abandoned house) and the faded effect is appropriate to our genre.
