Font

For our font stlye in our opening titles, we wrote out our 'working production company name' 'Hatter Productions' and looked at it in different styles of font on 'Word'. We came across various types but none of which we could decide upon on. They all looked the same except for one or two, we liked one but unfortunately it looked a bit cowboy western, so the kind of font you would se on a 'WANTED' poster. Luckily we decided on one which we all liked and wasn't the same style as 'New Times Roman' or 'Arial', this was 'Cracked'. It stood out when we made it a bigger size, alomost as if someone had broke the letters. We used this font for our Blog title and thought that it looked slightly odd and different and suited a thriller film, because thrillers are odd and different. After agreeing on this font, we opened a program called 'Live Type' which allowed us to write out a sentence, phrase or word, choose a font, colour and size and then add all types of effects to it, for example we can add shadow and extra colour, we can stretch it outwards, upwards and downwards. You can create different style and add them to a video or animation which you can then add to your film. We had a little play with it and decided this is what we would use to create our interesting titles. Whilst we were having fun trying differnt things with live type, we decided upon a 'working title font' (which is shown above) it is a basic outline and working progress of what our titles will look like eventually. We are looking and hoping we will put some animation into it so it looks like the red, blood looking like colour is either exapnding outwards or inwards. As we go on we shall try other creative ideas to make sure our titles look as thriller like as possible.
