Typography Research


 
The research I have conducted is on typography. This is the fonts, sizing, spacing and colours that are used when creating a title. The films I researched were Stalker, Nightcrawler and Fargo. These are all thriller films which gave me a wide variation of the types of typography used in the genre. There were obvious patterns within the genre as the titles are usually white, small in size and widely spaced out with the lettering. This gave me ideas when thinking of the typography for my film. I looked at high detailed fonts at the beginning which didn’t reflect my narrative of the film. I decided to change it to simple, red in colour and widely spaced out. The colour is used to make the title stand out as the last shot is fading from colour to black and white. The typography is important to get right when producing a film as they hint to the audience about the narrative and type of genre film they are watching.
