Film titles and font styles

As I begin to move on with my film trailer, I need to consider my film titles and font styles. I looked at a website called Art of the title, which is a leading online publication on the creative processes behind the art of title sequence design. It spans out to film, television, conference, and videogame industries.

On Art of the title I looked for clips that incorporated films belonged to the psychological thriller genre. Such as this clip made by William Somerset looking at the film trailer for Seven.

This isn’t going to have a happy ending. —William Somerset 

Also when looking at film posters I created a Prezi to anaylsesome Psychological thriller film posters such as 'Anna' and 'Seven'. When analysing these films posters i saw the oputunity to look into detail at the type, size and style of fonts used on the film posters, I found this o be a great help in assiting my choices inchosing font style and size for my owm film poster and possibly my film magazine.



After anaylising the fonts of mulitple film posters, I used dafont.com to find a range of fonts that I could possibly use when creating my film poster. 

For the image on my fiml poster I am using a black book, the writing within the book has to be hand written but very loose, singature like. I used dafont.com to find fonts like this style, I found three fonts I liked and was able to type the words 'The ending is always the best' into dafont.com and see what it would look like in the font styles I liked.

Since I had to write up the words into the book I printed off the image above and traced over the font styles to get an idea and practice writing in that style.
