Editing: Font



Today myself and Imogens job was to look and interesting fonts online from the website Dafont to try and find something for the titles. I want to stick to a font that will be quite bold and will stand out and is easy for the audience to read as well as interesting.


This is the first font that we looked at i really like this one as it is a strong font, its very bold, very clear exactly what i personally was looking for. It is also very masculine and would fit in very well with the our story line, i also love the fact its in capitals as it adds drama.



This is the second font that we looked at on the website that drew our attention. Personally i am not fond of this font as it has a very feminine feel to it, although it could be interesting as it would go against the normal conventions of a thriller film. Also the use of texture in the text makes it almost look like twigs found in a forest which is quite scary. I think that aspect of the font would make it fit in with the horror aspect of our film, but i was looking for something that is bold and something very dramatic and unfortunately this font doesn't have that.





Finally this is the third font that we had picked out of the bunch. I think this one would be perfect as it is bold, it stands out, its very interesting to look at and it has that drama as well as the capital letters. I think the different hight's give it that edgy tone to it and this could suggest that it doesn't follow the thriller convention. However it's not so different that it wouldn't go with our story line.

Overall out of all of the fonts that we looked at today i think we should choose the third and final one 'Dirty Headline' as its very interesting and defiantly would fit in would not only our genre but also the storyline of our film.
