The font used to open a film is very important as it is generally the first thing you see and it also has to match the genre of the film. The font for Thriller is normally in capital letters and like all movies has to stand to show the name of the film. Also the font of the Title of the film in my eyes should be different to the font used for the credits, showing the names of the actors and actresses. As a group we were trying to think of the name for our opening scene and thought we woulod stick to something fairly simple, but we knew there wasn't a film with the same so we are calling it April. The font of the title can determine how popular the film becomes as it would generally be the same Font used to open the film that is used in the posters. If the title were to look childish and unprofessional then the audience may assume that the film may not be very good or could be quite boring. Also in the start you would need to show the names of the compnaies and the distributors of the film. So a well known company would not be particularly impressed that because of the font and how their names are presented to look amateurish.
Insideous is a well known Horror/Thriller film. The title here is very bold with a dark background and a deep red title that has an almost blood splatter affect which immediatly shows the audience what type of movie it is. It also shows a well know a well known film director which would also increase the popularity of the film because a lot of people prejudge a film by who is the director and producer. His name is also in bold and is made to stand out so is white instead of red otherwise the two titles would be likely to crash so you they would need to be different colours to make sure they both are noticable against the background.
Fonts i researched:
When i was researching i thought that these fonts could really work for the opening as they were very bold and were all different fonts but were still fairly similar the middle two i found were although quite scary and very bold they wouldn't work as well as the one at the top or the bottom because i found that these two were commonly used in Thriller films where as the other two were more on the Horror side. My personal favourite is the last one as its bold but its not no too big although simple i think it would still work really well with our opening.
Doing this research has proven useful as it has shown me how the Titles of a film really do make a difference and also how many different fonts are available to use as there are multiple for alll genres and occasions.
