Font Research

Here is some research into different font styles for my film title. Using www.dafont.com & www.1001freefonts.com I was able to preview each font in the format I wanted. This allowed me to pick the fonts that related to the genre, storyline and title of the film easily. I first started looking for a graffiti font that would highlight the urban genre. I came across font 1 which is a font that relates massively to the genre as well as the title. The graffiti of the font illustrates the urban genre and the dripping from the font contrasts with the title of the film. Font 2 is very similar to the previous font, its only difference is that is has more of a bold, thicker font. However, I feel that this font would not work well as a title due to not being able to read certain letters properly. Font 4 is a unique font which displays the city landscape at the bottom of each letters. This is an element that will allow the audience to recognise the genre and therefore entice them to watch the film. I have been attracted to font 6 because it is bold, clear and simple like 8 Mile and Kidulthoods posters. The simplicity of it would allow for the attention to be on the main image. I will go on to test my favourite fonts 1, 4 and 6 on my poster to see if they work well with the image.
