TITLE EXPERIMENTATION

We have experimented with few font styles, to see which will be appropriate for our thriller. Below is the analysis of few fonts that may be worth looking into for our opening sequence.
This font is quite child like and immature, and for our title sequence it may be useful, as it comes across as quite innocent. The fact that it is quite messy and not perfect, symbolizes the confused state of mind of the protagonist and it also enhances the importance of the story line. It is written in a paint like form, and suggests a chaotic story line.
The above font is similar to the first one but it gives a more thrilling feel. The fact that it has hinges at the end of every letter implies a disturbing feel to it. Similarly because there are straight lines, it makes it seem very structured. This is ironic as the stalker in our treatment has a very structured plan, he too comes across very neatly and thus it could be suitable for our title sequence.
This is one of our favorite fonts styles for the thriller because it is the most age appropriate and it also attracts the audience the most. The fact that it is easy to read, and looks like someone's handwriting is sufficient as it suggests the story line is about someone who is either a teenager or in school. It also will attract more of the youth as it looks 'hippy' and almost graffiti like.
Finally this is also quite an appropriate font, as it hints at the story line. The fact that it looks like calligraphy suggests a very delicate story line. It looks quite feminine and therefore the audience will be expecting a girl to be the protagonist. It resembles the font of 'Black Swan' and you can kind of tell it will be about ballet or something very ladylike.
