I used my previous knowledge of searching for fonts appropriate to use in horror trailers after making my groups production company. Using Dafont.come again, I discovered a number of possible fonts to use in my trailer. I decided however that these were the three I liked the most, and were the ones I discussed with my group before designing and producing the product.
This is the font I decided to use in the production of my title card. I was hoping to recreate the innocence of Scarlett's character through the use of a childlike font. Whilst I recognize that there is a differing age gap between the that of which the font displays and that of Scarlett's character, the youth the font encompasses connotes the simplicity Scarlett's character desires and the normality she wishes to receive from having a family. Myself and my group discussed the implications of this font further and decided that it would be the best one to use for our title card.
What drew me to this font was the simplicity of it and how this juxtaposes with the situation Scarlett is presented with in the trailer. The preceding trailer will feature her in a number of straight cuts to demonstrate the fast paced environment she is suddenly thrown into. After discussing this with my group however, we agreed that the font doesn't look much like one which would be used in a horror trailer due to it being nicely curved and without any font feet.
I liked this font due to the gothic connotations it has; the feet of the font combined with the letters shape adds a sense of mystery and inconsistency. However, after talking to the rest of my group about this font, we decided that it would be better if we used it for the tone cards instead as this font resembles that of the one in Case 39 which we are aiming to base elements of out trailer on.
