FONTS

The font used in film says masses about the genre, feel of the film and the quality; and thats not even talking about what the writing in the font actually says!


As we are using iMovie to create edit our film, i have shown a selection of the fonts we could potentially use for the titles.
A FOCAL FILM This is Coolvetica, and is our first choice. It gives nothing away about the film, with the basic capital letters, something completely necessary for the action thriller genre. 
A FOCAL FILM This is Chalkboard and suggests an element of fun, or a childish film which is obviously not what we are going for but this is here to show a really clear comparison.
A FOCAL FILM This is Big Caslon and suggests something a bit too regal for the film we wish to create which deals with slightly more gritty issues than this film suggests. You would see this font in, say, a period drama. Having said this it would not look too out of place as it is a versatile looking font, but the top font, coolvetica, is the best choice.


I did this post on my iMac at home and unfortunately the different fonts do not come out on Windows computers.
