Title research

I have been looking at fonts and how different directors use different fonts to represent the genre and the mood of the video.

 In this particular film, the typography fits the film as there is the use of blood splatter across the words and the typography is silver and is all in capitals. The typography fits the movie as it makes it look creepy and keeps with the mood of the video telling the audience that it is a creepy, gory film.


 This film is a family friendly film and although it is animated, it is set mainly under the sea. The title of the film keeps with this theme as there is the wave at the bottom of the word and the words are blue. In this particular picture there is a mixture of blues swirling about as if it was light shining on top of the ocean and the O has a little fish in it which tells the audience what it is about straight away. The colours are bright which shows it is family friendly and that it might be a light hearted film.

 This films title is a mix of bright yellow, oranges and black. The typography looks quite metallic and robotic which suggests straight away that it is a sci-fi. The mix of colours and shading tells the audience that although the film may be lighthearted in places and may not be a very dark film, there may be parts that are dark and may show danger which might provoke fear into the audience.


We want to show our audience that our film is all about mystery and that we try to keep the audience on edge. Our typography needs to represent our film as being a psychological/sci-fi/thriller so we will probably use white typography on a black background.

Progress

Hannah has returned from her disease ridden state and is continuing with the editing. She is improving the continuity of the video as best she can and is cutting and editing clips as is appropriate. Our film (which we have decided shall be called Running out of time) so far, represents the contrast between the two time periods and how she teleports from one to the other. The black and white is to show the 50's and the technicolour is to show the modern day. I am going to research title sequences as when we add in the titles we want the font and the typography to fit the mood of the video.
