Font Research: 

For another part of the research for our opening scene we had to choose opening titles, this is very hard to try and find the perfect one to fit our film and the genre that goes with it. To help us out we looked at different titles from films which had the same genre to us and we analysed them, our favourite one out of the three was 'The Conjuring' even though it is simple it still gives of an eerie, creepy effect which we think the audience will be interested in. The background allows the title to stand out and doesn't give anything away to what the film is actually about, it also doesn't show if the film is going to be terrifying which would draw the audience in. 

Our second favourite was 'The Cabin in Woods' as a group we decided that it was effective and the big to small font made it really refined and the wood looking texture makes the audience think that the place it is set in is going to be a woods or a shed. This would encourage the audience to watch it because the title does not give much away. There are also faint scratch marks sliced across the title suggesting something in the film is going to hurt people with something, this would also encourage the audience to watch the film as it comes across mysterious. The little details make the title stand out and this is what we are looking for in our title.

This is another title we looked into but is our least favourite, the reason it isn't as appealing to us as the other two is because it has a lot going on in it whereas the other two are simple but they seem to have more of an effect. It also does not fit in with what we want to have on our title as we want plain dark background which brings out the font. Although it doesn't fit to our requirements if our plan doesn't work then this would be our next option.



The fonts we found which went the best with our film were these two below: the reason they go so well with our opening scene is because they are simple and don't take to much away from the effect of the background and it also gives the effect that they are eerie and it does not give the audience any indication to what the film is going to be about and how scary it is going to be. We decided that the 'Felix Titling' is the best one for our film as we believe 'The Conjuring' is the most effective out of the three examples we have above and the Felix is the one which is the most similar. The 'Perpetua Titling' is bold and stands out and is very similar to 'The Cabin In The Woods' which is the second favourite out of the three, so if the 'Felix Titling' does not work then we will try this one.
