Font selection

03/15

Upon selecting our title, we had to figure out the font for it and how it would be placed in the intro. Although I will be creating an update for it later on, my group and I decided that a handwritten, white font would look best as it can appeal to the grimey, suspenseful feel of the film. For this we looked to YouTube to look for information on how fonts could be made and placed throughout a film. We came upon a video made by Caleb Lancaster and his video on how hand written fonts could be made for music videos (That can be found here). We found it to be best so we wanted to incorporate some of the moving animations into the title to give it a scary feeling. After watching the video we wrote "DON'T MOVE" on a white board twice with some slight differences to allow us to obtain that effect. These can be seen here:



We then decided that the title would look best if the image we choose to present it on was in landscape mode and we placed it on the third left at a slightly higher position on screen to appeal to the eye and embrace the image shown. We took inspiration from the marketing of the film "Moonlight" which is seen here. 



To achieve a white color on the handwritten font, we went in photoshop and inverted the colors to create a contrast. Thus, the title and font for our intro was created.
