GROUP: Ttitles and Font Design

After analysing and examining  the style and look that is used when it comes to credits in films we took a selection of different fonts and began to analyse each providing our likes and dislikes and comparing to other horror openings.

We decided that our font should be red for the shots in the first line of action in which the protagonist (Neil) can be seen driving home illuminated by a red light from the car radio, these shots provided a sharp contrast between black and red and so we felt that red text would give a good impact and present the titles clearly.

Not only do the red titles contrast well with the dark background they also contrast with the white text which is shown on titles in the second line of action, this contrast helps separate the two lines of action for the audience.

when selecting a font we decided that it should be in a block format in order for it to be clear and visible to the audience but that it should also be distorted as if it were eroded or splashed. 

We didn't want the text to be still either and so in order to grab the audiences attention and perhaps connote a distorted, twisted atmosphere within the opening we have animated the text so that it flickers on the screen at various times during the opening.
