Font Ideas-Miss Georgiou

Font Ideas

Similarly to "The Shining", I wanted to include all of the cast and their roles in order to show to my audience my grattitude towards the people that aided me for the production. Unlike films such as: "Goodfellas", I would prefer to have my credits over the film in order to not annoy the audience as in "Goodfellas". The font was fine for it, however I personally would choose for the credits to go over the opening sequence in order for the audience to be able to enjoy the opening sequence and forget their problems.

Another point which I would like to make is that I would like the font to be in white as unlike "Goodfellas", most of the opening sequence is happening in the dark so if the colour red would have been used, then the audience would suffer from reading. Therefore it would be more pleasant for them to read a white font. I should also mention that as the main part of the screen is dark, the slight placement of a small white font would represent a fight between the good and evil. 

Similarly to "Se7en", I was thinking of using a blurred font in order to create a sense of unsteadiness and confusion between them. According to George, the way to make the credits unsteady would be to use the font settings in the Final Cut Pro programme. He also shared with me the way in which the titles themselves can be changed and re sized.

When it came to the theme font, I had decided that for the film, it would be appropriate to use a simple font, such as Times New Roman or Courier New, as it would relate to the background of the antagonist and main character. This would give a slight incentive to the mainstream audience what caused the fight between the antagonist and main character.

When adding the actors, the name of the actor that played the killer will not be given in order to intrigue the fans of the film, which would wish to find out more information. Therefore it would cause tension between the groups.

  1. This demonstrates minimal understanding of why you have selected your chosen font. This is because you have not explored the codes and conventions of a thriller and have only included a basic overview.

    You need to focus on the conventions, colours, style, font size and where it will appear in your sequence, which will assist you with extending your analysis further.
