Titles


To experiment with different fonts me and my group went onto Microsoft Word and a website called Da Font to play around with all the different fonts available, we compared 5 all together and analysed them to see which one is best suited and relevant to our film and genre. After looking at dram films such as 'My sister's keeper' and 'The notebook' we were looking for something simple and basic but not too boring. 
The bottom font used on the right-hand side looks too thin and may be hard for the audience to see, so we decided not to choose that font. We also chose not to use the top on the left-hand side as the bubble writing format seems too informal and does not portray the level of sophistication and seriousness of our film. Our overall decision was that we are going to use the font used in the middle on the left-hand side as it is simple yet has a little bit of a twist on it, it is clear to see and does not have any extreme fancy swirls coming off of any letters. It relates more to our genre and looks unique. 

We chose the third font on the left hand side called Aubrey to be the font for the title and the tiles. This is because we thought that it was simple and serious and is not the same font as other film titles as it looks unique. The last font on the right hand side is too thin and looks like a font you would use in a documentary film, not a drama film as it is not serious font. So we decided not to use it. However, when editing the film opening on Premiere we could not use this font. This was because we were unable to download the font onto the software. Instead, we found another font called Adobe Caslon Pro which we thought suited the opening scene the best.
