Explanation relating to titlesBy Lisa Begum

Font for our titles For a trailers titles it is always important for

them to draw the audience in. To do this, it is vital that the titles give you a

scary feel when reading and also that they look quite sinister to build tension and suspense.

This is why when we selected out titles I looked at several different types of font before choosing our actual font we thought made the audience feel that the sub-genre is slasher/teen horror.

As our films name is ‘Fathers day’ I looked at different fonts on ‘dafont’ to see how it looked.

Here is another screenshot of different fonts on ‘dafont’ after looking through them I didn't think they fitted our genre or looked very creepy therefore I looked for more.

Here is another website I visited called ‘1001freefonts’ this website also had a majority of different fonts.

However I didn't get a feel that they were eerie and they looked too bold and we wanted something to create a sense of terror and anticipation.

This is a screenshot of another website I looked at which was called ‘Fontspace.’

Again I added our film title to see how it looked.

Some of the fonts on this website looked alright and fitted our genre but when we went onto pasting it onto our film it didn't seem to look very frightening.

After searching through different fonts. One lesson we went through fonts on ‘imovie’ and came across one we thought looked quite good, in terms of fitting our genre and building a sort of scariness towards audience. This font was called ‘come with me’

We changed the size around from small to but as we have seen in several other trailers that horror film titles of slasher horror/teen horror usually have small font therefore we wanted to follow this convention. Moreover the titles looked more scary in small whereas in big it lost its sense of eeriness.

Additionally we also tried to change the colour to red/maroon so it looked more bloodily. Although when we done this, it didn't look good and white looked much better, therefore we decided to leave it as white as it suited best with a black background.
