Title Font

     Since we have finished most of our filming, I’ve decided to look for some fonts that we could use as the title in our opening. This is very important because it is shown in the first minute of the entire film, and it has to set the proper tone for what the film would be like. I went on the editing app I use and started looking for possible fonts, and effects that I would like the title to have. This was definitely more difficult than I thought it would be because I’m indecisive. Thankfully, I have a partner who can give a second opinion and help me out when I can’t decide. I have two options that I think could work, but one creates a darker tone than the other and I’m not sure if I love how rustic it looks.

This is the first font that I thought could possibly work, but I just feel like it’s too rustic for what we’re going for. I don’t know…

The second font that I found is this one:

    I think this one is definitely more what I saw on my head when I saw the title card but I don’t know if it’s too plain. I’m definitely gonna ask my partner her opinions on this but honestly I prefer this one. 

I feel like it just looks more modern and since it takes place in the future, it just makes sense.

    Another thing I added was a typing effect because I definitely want there to be one but again I am in between two effects.

One of them has a line at the end to make it seem like somebody is typing and the other doesn’t. I think the line makes it more obvious that someone is typing, so I probably will end up going with that one. The only thing I don’t like is the thickness of it, so if I really can’t find another one, I think this one would work perfectly fine too. 

Looking back and comparing both, I think one gives the tone of a rustic vintage typewriter, and the other gives a computer vibe which is what I’m going for since the film takes place in the not so distant future. I also want it to look like a computer because that’s the most important prop in our opening. 

    I’m also going to locate the text aligned to the left side because when you start typing on a computer it automatically starts typing on the left since we read left to right. I’m going to double check with my partner to see if she likes it but I like the tone that this text creates. The simplicity of it leaves room for mystery in the story, and there is a lot of unanswered questions that some characters have.
