Fonts Introduction

In order to help my partner and I choose which font we wish to use within our opening sequence, I will look at different websites with a variety of many fonts.

The first website I looked at was "Dafont":
https://www.dafont.com/theme.php?cat=110&page=32&text=DOLLHOUSE

The second website I looked at was "Fontmeme":
https://fontmeme.com

The last website I looked at was "Linotype":
https://www.linotype.com/6281/movies-2010.html

The website which I thought was the most successful was Dafont therefore I ended up using this one. This is because it was free to use and easily accessible, as well as this it has a wide choice of various fonts. Fontmeme was also a good site to look at, it splits the fonts up into lots of different categories (such as the genre of a film) it also gives you the name of the font. However this was the only website I came across which cost money in order to download and use a font. Linotype also had a 'movie font' category and is free to use, although I felt there wasn't a great choice of selection.

Unfriended Poster Analysis

--> The main image here is of one of the character's most likely to be the protagonist. --> The protagonist is shown here using a close up shot. The use of this shot makes the character seem close towards the audience. Implying that during the film the audience will become closer to the character and is likely to sympathise for them. --> Dull/dark colours (black, white, grey) --> Use of red, could represent blood within the film and a sense of violence. --> Black background, makes the writing and picture on the poster stand out. --> Movie title (san serif, biggest writing, most bold), indication of genre - located at the bottom to allow focus on the image. --> Credits located at the bottom. --> Tagline - gives away a bit of the storyline. --> Cinema release month. --> Social media links.

--> The main image of the poster is of 3 of the main protagonists. --> The protagonists are seen through the use of a medium shot, to make the audience feel closer with the characters. --> Dull/dark use of colours. --> Low level lighting. --> Some use of red to perhaps represent blood or violence within the film. --> Dark background to allow focus on the image and the writing on the poster. --> Name of the film (san serif, biggest wiring, most bold, indication of genre) located on the side of the poster. --> Credits in small writing located at the very top. --> Release date. --> Website name. --> Tagline - gives away some of the storyline.

Potential Sketch Layouts

After doing research into different kinds of film posters, I sketched out 3 different potential layouts I may want to use for the poster of my film. I noticed a trend within horror film posters - they all seem to have very minimal writing on them and most likely has one main image. Therefore due to this I think that the top, and bottom posters would be the most successful.
