Fonts - Experimenting

When we changed our opening sequence we also had to change our font that we chose and the name of the film so it would fit in with a different genre. We wanted to create a clever/intelligent however creepy effect so we did limit ourselves alot! It was hard to find something that we wanted however, we downloaded a few fonts as we didnt want to use a font already on the computer, and tried them out to see how they would look and how the font could help relate to our opening sequence. On the website it was extremely helpful as it had categorized different fonts in to themes so we could quickly browse through the themes. We picked out three main fonts and then cut them down to just one. We used a website called 'dafont'.

'Face your fears'
 This was our first font that we had found, we liked this as it gave a realistic effect and it looked very 'school' like as it could either look like paint or it could look like smears of blood which relates to our genre. 




'All Over Again'




This was the second font we found, again we really liked this font as it looked like someone scribbled it in a rush, like a child had at school, this relates to the setting and location of the opening sequence. 




'Quid Pro Quo'




This was the last font we found, we liked this font as again it looked like handwriting, however, we felt that this font was too neat for the selected genre of our film.










We decided to choose the second font 'All over again' as it was exactly what we wanted as we felt that it relates to the genre of the film and the location of the film well.
