Textual Analysis

Now that we are getting close to filiming and editing i believe that it would be a good idea to choose what font we are going to use. The font can be very important because if you do not choose a clear font or it isnt a clear colour/size it may be harder or impossible for the audience to read.

I looked at lot of websites that promote different fonts to use and I decided to stay with a website called Dafont.com the reason I chose this website over the other is because I believe this is the most reliable, has the widest range of fonts and also the majority of them are free to use.

Here is a few we picked out...


When choosing these fonts I didnt want to fall into the cliche of the typical weird scary font but I also needed that kind of thing to create a sense of unease in the audience. So I went for slightly weird but also conciously tried not to make it cliche.

After trying these fonts out we realised that they did fall into the cliche so we went with a different font. We believe that the font is worth investing the time into as it will come up when the screen is black being the center of attention. So overall i think the time invested was worth it and we have ended up with a font we are really happy with and also that our peers enjoy the most.
