I chose a range of fonts that I would thought be suitable for our media film and would suit its genre. And then brought in those fonts and showed them to the rest of my team, we then did a vote on which would be the best style.
Subtitles/Credits -(Please ignore the red writing, that's so I can remember what the text was called when editing)
The one that we chose was this one:
This style of text is called Dotum Che, the reason that I liked this font was because it was very plain, but because it is a little too simple and there are quite big gaps between the lettering, it gives off the feeling of 'coldness' and is a bit spooky as well it being completely white text.
Title
Again using the same system as I did before with the subtitles (using a tally scheme to decide which one we liked the most etc), I had a range of titles which I thought may be sutiable for the horror genre.
I really did quite like this text, I thought it had a 'spooky' element and much like the font we chose for our subtitles, it had very similar qualities, for instance it was also very spaced out.
A lot of my group didn't really think this one was suitable, and in someways I do agree however I think you could relate the font to the clock at the beginning of the film, and it would seem that it would be set more in the digital age of technology than perhaps the 60's, however this font would often be associated with Sci-Fi films.
Now, A lot of my team did in fact like this one and thought it was really 'cool' and we almost ended up having it (since it's based on an majority vote, and I did have to admit the font did portray some eeriness because the letters are all different heights and sizes and much like say a randsome note letter, but however, I was a bit dubious because althought it was nice, I thought it was way to detailed and that something a bit simplier would be required, after much talking my team also agreed with me.
So this was the font we chose:
I really liked this font and thought it would be best suited for our media film as it was very simple however, with the text being all squished up it had some sort of look that it was unnatural. Also, another reason I really liked it was the fact that it looked a bit similiar to the font that is used in Psycho (without the gaps within the letters)- which is a classic horror film which directed by Alfred Hitchcock who truely is an inspiration director.
