Typography

For our teaser trailer, poster and website we need the title of our film to catch the audience's eye, be exciting and stand out. It also needs to represent our choice of genre and link in with our main character. Here is some experimentation:

This typography was made on a software called Serif Drawplus 8. I used an original font then modified it by dragging the edges of each letter into a point. I think this worked well as it could be portrayed as childlike because of the way it has been written, however, the sharp edges of each letter represents our selection genre well as it shows danger and threat. We all decided we liked this font the most so we used it as a template.

I then added a green glow to the same typography and this linked to our supernatural sub-genre. We feel that the right message is beginning to be portrayed. At the beginning we looked at having both black and white backgrounds to see which looked better, here i feel a black background would emphasise our chosen genre and white doesn't portray the right message.

I changed the background colour to black because i feel it represents our type of horror better than white would. I changed the colour of typography to white and used the same effect as the typography before. Unfortunately it didn't come across in the same way, however the colour is particularly effective and catches the audience's eye immediately.

We thought that this font reminded us too much of 'The Hulk' and doesn't portray the right message.
