Recently we have been looking at what font we want to have on our credits. When we started this task, we wrote our original title 'The Noose' down to try out different fonts with it. That's when it hit us: our title needs to change! A noose is a very horrific and daunting thing, something commonly used in a horror. We realised that the title 'The Noose' screams horror, not tragedy, therefore we decided to change it. We brainstormed some more ideas using 4 headings: character, places, plot and object". We used character because we know that tragedy drama films are very character based. We chose places because we know that the setting in a tragedy drama film is vital for the audience's engagement and a lot of tragedy dramas use places for their titles such as "Leaving Las Vegas". We chose plot because this is the main bulk of the play and can give clues to the genre, such as the tragedy drama "Run". And lastly we chose objects because we didn't want to completely scrap our original idea "The Noose" which is an object.
Here is the mind-map we created:
We then looked through each section and either kept it or ruled it out. First we looked at character, we thought that it would be good to have a character as the focus for the title as it could give away hints about the genre whilst not giving away too much about the story. We then looked at places, we ruled this out because we didn't particularly like any that we had written down. We then looked at the plot, we liked a few of them but then we decided that we didn't actually want to give clues about the plot in the title, so we ruled this section out. Lastly, we looked at objects, again we liked a few of them but not as much as the character section so we ruled this one out too. Then we focused on the character sector. We went round and asked some females within our target market which they preferred and they chose "The Truth About Annie", therefore this is our NEW title!!
When we had gotten over our crisis, we started to look at different fonts. As we are only starting to look at this we just chose a few word texted ones with some effects on them.
These are the 7 that we created. As it is not urgent that we need to choose the font soon, we do not want to rush the choice,so we just let them play on our minds and will be creating some more to look at and consider soon. The one that caught my eye straight away was the 3rd one down. This is because it looks a little bit like a tree bard style of font, which is a big part of our plot. However, as our genre is tragedy, I think we might need to go for a font a little big straighter, bolder and a lot more serious. We did ask a few females in our target market to get a starting idea and they said that the first two look too romantic like and so they didn't like these. I think we are far from the chosen one however I feel like we are off to a good start. When we have chosen our font, we will start looking at colours!
See you soon
