Typography for our Title Sequence

During todays lesson in media, my group and I continued to brainstorm ideas for our title sequence. For instance, today we started to think about what the typography of our title sequence is going to be like.

Seeing as our film is going to be set during the period if time in which the Cold War is set, my group and I are adamant to use an American and Russian style font.

After deciding on this we began to search online for releavant text fonts, however we then stumbled across Dafont.com.

Dafont.com is an online text website in which consists of thousands of different text types. Therefore we as a group strongly agree with the fact that we should use a font from DaFont.com

After a short period of time, we as a group began to create different text fonts. In order to create text on DaFont.com, you have to firstly choose a text style, after this you then decided on what sort of text you you would like.

Our first piece of typography:





The above image is one of the pieces of text in which we created as a group. The above font has a Russian feel to it; therefore this is one of the reasons in why we are possibly going to consider this piece of typography.

What do I personally like about this font?

• I like the fact that the font is eye-catching. For example, as soon as someone sees this font, they are immediately interested by it, mainly because it is rather unusual.
  



• The colour scheme is interesting mainly becasue the colours portray a bold message. This therefore gives our target audience the connotation that our film must also be bold, and rather meaningful.
  



• What I dislike about this font?
  



• One thing in which I dislike about this font is that the colours can be seen as rather plain and boring. This therefore could possibly suggest to our audience that our title sequence must be boring, judging on the way the typography is.




• The lettering is rather unusual - The fact that the font is unusual is a risk mainly because we as a group are unsure about what our target audience will feel about the typography.

Our second piece of typography:

This is the second text font in which we created as a group. Once again, we created this piece of typography by using Dafont.com This piece of typography has an American look to it, as during the Cold War the Americans were involved, with the Russians. This piece of typography has a bold look to it, which is one of the reasons in why it looks like an iconic and prolific American piece of text.

What I like about this font?

• I like the fact that this font is bold and clear. This therefore suggests that our title sequence must also be powerful and meaningful, just like the other piece of typography in which we used.
  


• The font is also structured successfully. For example, the lettering is in an organised fashion. This denotes that a lot of time has been constructed in order to produce this piece of tyypography (which is rather true).

What I dislike about this font?

• The font also seems rather plain. Therefore this may possibly give our target audience the feeling that our title sequence isn't interesting what-so-ever.



• The colours are rather simple. For instance, the colour grey isn't exactly eye-catching and/or attractive.
