Fonts for Titles (Billy Camden)

Throughout the editing process we experimented with many different kinds of fonts, we looked and eerie fonts, up tempo fonts, gothic fonts and many others. Here are a list of the fonts we looked at the the reason why we chose a specific font.

Arial Narrow
When we first began looking at this font we thought that it would look alright within our opening sequence but it did not give that thriller essence that we was after and just looked basically boring in which would not attract an audience, therefore we did not choose this font.


Century Gothic
At first we did decide to go with this font and by giving a red colour to the font, it would make the titles look like a thriller, but after much consideration and attention to the font, we decided that it did not really connote a big enough thriller feel which is what we was after, so we decided not to use it.

Comic Sans MS
When looking at the comic sans ms font, we immediately saw that it did not fit in with either the conventions of a thriller, nor did it have that thriller essence that we was after, the font is better in use when writing a poster or something that requires a 'fun' factor, obviously we did not want to connote a fun factor so we did not use this font.

Cooper STD
Upon examining this font, we saw that it had everything we needed, the font had connotation that represented a thrill to the audience and had that all important thriller essence. We then, after much consideration, decided to choose this font to go use in our full product. We added a red colour to connote a death feel, and then added a drop shadow which was white, this made the font stand out and create a thriller feel for the audience when they watch the full product. Although we initially thought this font fitted in with our thriller, we looked at it a number of times and decided that it did not fit entirely in with what we wanted, so we decided to use a different font.

Plantagenet Cherokee 
We experimented with this font in all different places and finally decided that this font would fit in with the theme of a thriller that we are trying to connote. We made the colour of the text red so it would connote death which is a convention of a thriller. We then added a black drop shadow to make the text stand out even more.
