As you know we have been playing around with some font styles for our credits on our movie. To help me get some ideas I decided to have a look at some film credits from films in my genre or similar to my genre.
The first one I looked at was 'Panic Room'
The credits for this opening are a grey colour. Grey is a very plain, empty and depressing colour which helps to illustrate the story. The credits are also all in capital letters which give us a sense of desperation and urgency that helps create an idea of pani, also illustrating the story. The last thing I noticed is that the colour blends in with the background, perhaps illustrating an urban city life.
I like the colour of these credits and think that they would be good to use in our opening as our story is very depressing which is a connotation of grey.
The second credits I looked at was 'Virtigo'
The font for this film is styled so the letters only have an outline, not a fill. This creates an emptiness feel, represented by the empty letters, this illustrates the story. Also, because of the style of letter we focus straight away on something that is missing, illustrating the story further.
I love the style of this font and think it is definitely something to consider for our own film. I think it would work really well with our story line and help represent the characters.
Next I looked at 'Sherlock Holmes'
The font for this film is handwritten, this makes the film and the story feel more personal to the readers, almost at if we are being taken through a personal diary.
I like the style of this font and think it is another style to consider for our own film. The reason I like the personal feel is because it is very important in a tragedy to be able to connect with the characters and get to know them and become comfortable with them to the point where they can place themselves in the character's position.
See you soon
