As editing is looming on the Horizon (provided our filming gets done) i think now would be a good time to think about fonts for our titles and production credits etc.
Firstly i think it is important that our style of font conforms to the thriller genre because if it subverts from this genre it can make the whole introduction seem confusing to an audience, or it will just not be as effective as it could be. the font should look sinister and possibly be quite bold so that it is eye-catching and engaging to the audience. This would complement the conventions of our thriller introduction whilst also supporting the sinister content.
I really like Droeming and Impact label, i think they really keep the tone of the movie plot and the genre whilst also looking quite good and being very clear and bold. The others were more aesthetic choices as they look eye-catching and/or nice to the audience. however they are not striclty in keeping with the conventions of the thriller genre, so I personally think we should use one of the other two. I'll see how Chris and Nikki feel next lesson. If we cannot agree on one of these fonts then im sure a standard microsoft font will suffice, perhaps Verdana or Arial. as they are clear and readable however not very sinister.
