Font Tests for anxillary products

FONT TESTING

From using font software, Polly has tested out different fonts with our chosen film name to see which ones look best, and which one we may want to use for our films poster.

This one looks as though it is dripping bloody, which woud be very good if our film was very gory. However as it is not this may not be best suited. The font of the writing is effective though, so we may keep it.

This font looks quite mysterious however I think it looks like a font from an old film, where as our film is modern so we need a more modern font. I like how the font is quite jagged and creepy however if it was to fit in with the thriller genre as well it may not look as professional.


This font that Polly chose is similar to some of the fonts from real film posters, as it is very bold and all the letters are in capitals. This makes it stand out and will capture the viewers attention. If the title is powerful and bold it may also effect the film and improve the image. 

Polly quotes this as one of her  favourite fonts, because it has a very intriguing effect however it doesn't particularly represent a certain genre, therefore it would be perfect for our film. It does look quite spooky but it's not too over the top like the first font Polly chose. We would also have to think about how we could incorporate it into the poster and what colour font we would use as it probably wouldn't look as professional if it was a different colour.


This font is very simple and basic, which was why she chose it as an idea. It is very clear for the reader to see and as it is all in capitals it does stand out. The only problem is that this type of font is sometimes associated with alien movies as it looks very sci-fi.

The following two fonts are quite similar as they are both under the 'handwritten' section. Both would be good for our film, however the bottom one does look slightly more suitable for a horror title. Although they are not in capital letters they do stand out for being slightly different to other horror/thriller films.
