FONTS AND CREDIT RESEARCH

We decided to experiment with different fonts on the software 'livetype'. Using the working title of paranoid.

The text below is 'papyrus' with the effect mixed in called 'baffle'. The text has a rigid edge which shows uneven to reflect the theme of the film. The colours we used was a black filler colour with a thin red outline, this was to represent death and blood with the darkness of black. This combination of colours is well known and stereotypically used for a thriller film. The effect shows confusion as the letters alternately bounce onto the page. We used a capital for the first letter with the rest of the letters lower caps, this shows that it is original as the effect and colours were enough of an effect.

The font below is handwriting 'dakota' mixed with the effect of 'scream'. The font shows that it looks like someone has handwritten to apply the theme of mystery for the stalker. The effect of scream shows an edgy and scary feel to the credits. We decided to use lower caps as it adds to the handwritten effect and re-emphasises the stalker theme.

We found fonts such as 'cracked' mixed with the effect 'frigid' to apply to the aspect of the film as when they were applied it was shaky and uneven, this reflected to the confusion of the film. WE chose to use the colours black, white and grey as they are all dull not particularly expressive and fade within each other well. We decided to use upper caps for all the letters as when researching graphic we found most thrillers used this, this could be to show a statement and create a serious tone.
