Fonts

Fonts provided on screen enable the audience to have instant insight into the films genre and what they are about to view, but they still set a tone of enigma, the font and text can't say everything about the film and what is involved.

Font 1:

We decided to sample the 'Break it' font, we also sampled this font by using the name of our chosen production company, this is to get a feel for it and to decide whether it is right for the name of the company let alone on screen. This style of font is commonly used in thriller genre films, either as the title or part of the credits, for instance: in both 'Alice Creed' and 'Essex Boys'. The font is a bold and confrontational style, it enforces the viewer to read whatever is written, but also the name 'Break it" reinforces this but also adds a more violent and angry tone, therefore establishing how and what it should be used for. In my opinion because of this explanation it could be fit for our thriller opening.

Font 2:

However we have done further research and considered the 'Tox Typewriter' font for the credits or even Title, this font can be described as a typewriter-style line serif font, similar to the font chosen in "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels'. This font could be effective within our film opening because the uneven and slightly disorientating look to the letters establishes a sense of chaos and disorder to the film, of which is a common theme in most Thrillers. 

Font 3:

Furthermore, a final font we looked at was the 'RR Ruities'. This sans serif font has a cage-like grid pattern, this can help to foreshadow the future for one or more of the protagonists with the idea they become trapped or in the case of our thriller kidnapped. The worn down look of the letters also gives off the impression of despair and decay, like the mindset of a kidnapped victim, they feel as though there is no hope of escape. The damaged look of this fonts lettering can be perfectly compared to that of the font used in 'Se7en', which reveals the unsettling style of thriller the audience are about to witness.
