Construction: Titles
The first font we trialled was Abadi MT. This font was bold and blocky in style, which was useful for the more obscure backgrounds used in the production for our film. The style of font stood out, however it didn't suit the vibe we were carrying across in our film and came across as too ordinary.
The font applied here is called is called OCR STD. The font used here is sleeker in comparison to the first Abadi MT font, but still relatively visible similarly to the first. The style came across as a step in the right direction in terms of its obscurity, and its ability to create a more peculiar atmosphere for the audience. The downside is that the font is most commonly identified with sci-fi and such genres alike.
The font used here is called.It is larger in size than the other two fonts and is more intricate in detail, making it more difficult to read. Positively the style has the eerie look about it, more so than the previous fonts. Overall the font is too complex and impractical, as there would be problems with visibility.
The font we finally agreed on is the Orator STD. The font was visible and incorporated the things we liked about the other three. It had simplicity and was also slightly out of the norm with the thin design.
We were cautious to place the titles in suitable positions in the run of the opening sequence. Mathew made sure they lasted for a suitable period of times. They usually lasted no more than 5 seconds, with fade in fade out transitions.
