Titles and Font Research

When thinking of our title font, we wanted to make sure it fit in with the thriller theme, however we didn't want it to be stereotypical. We looked at a variety of different fonts, on dafont.com as well as professional fonts used on thriller films, before making our decision.  

This first one I like, because the font looked smeared in some places similar to blood being spread across walls etc. It instantly gives a sinister feel and creates suspense. 

This font looks as if someone has clawed or scratched the words into a wall perhaps. Maybe someone or something was trying to get in or out of a building? It creates suspense by making the audience what could have created those markings and why they did so in the first place. 

28 Days Later has a font that looks as if it's been there awhile and is now fading due to natural wear and tear. This fits the storyline of the film as it's about the world coping after a deadly virus wipes out most of human civilisation. 

Gone Girl's font is kept rather simple; however it fits in with the theme of the film as part of the title is hidden behind the clouds. Part of the title is 'gone', similar to the main character who mysteriously disappears. 

In the end, we chose this for our font. We kept it white as against a black background, it stands out and the font itself looks a if it's been spray painted on. Graffiti is a form of rebellion as well as an outlet, a voice for freedom, this fits well with our film as due to the fact that there was twin copies of everyone destroying the Earth; perhaps graffiti is the only way the original copies can express themselves.
