Font Style Choices

 Using Word, Sam and I experimented with different fonts to see which one would appear most appropriate for our genre. Although I want my main title to stand out and be a different font to the other graphics, in order for my film opening to appear professional and appealing I'm going to use a similar font for the title and graphics. The last font in the image on the left seemed appropriate for a teen film, but when receiving feedback from my peers I realised that it had more of an American theme which makes it inappropriate for my film as we're attempting to ensure that it attracts a local, Cornish audience. The third one down is too bold and comes across as quite harsh and dramatic, which doesn't create the atmosphere we're aiming for. The others all follow a handwritten appearance, which I felt was perfect for my genre as it fits in nicely with the school convention of a teen film and represents our teenage audience who have to write everyday for school work. This also makes it easier to use a similar font for the title and other graphics, without them being identical. It's also easy to read, which is essential for the audience as the title lets them know what the movie is about, and the other graphics are important to give credit to people who worked hard to create the film. I was assured that this was a good choice. The font choice second from the top could potentially be the title as it's more bold than the other handwritten styled fonts, making it stand out more and emphasising it's importance over the other titles.

With the graphics, Sam and I decided to use two different fonts for the job title and the name. For the job title we decided on using ORATOR STD as we agreed that it looked like a professional and typical font used in film opening sequences, so followed conventions of film openings in general as it's fairly plain and easy to read. For the names we decided on FREESTYLE SCRIPT as it appears handwritten, so nicely suits the theme of our film. For the actual title we decided on SEGOE PRINT as it's easy to read but still follows the hand written theme. It also doesn't look too similar to the other fonts.
