Practise Titles - Font Ideas

 
Because our film is drama, we wanted our titels to be as simple as possible. Selected these fonts so that we had a wide range to pick from.
Each practise title here that we didnt choose, we thought were really nice and plain, but they were just too boring. In general they were all just TOO simple and TOO plain. We decided we wanted to have a font that was quite dainty but also edgy at the same time. This would really reflect the films storyline and the emotion of the film. Some of the texts we saw were really nice but they just weren't what we imagined, so we decided to keep looking until we found the perfect font.
Another source of research we used to find the perfect font, was a website in which it told us what fonts, oscar nominated movies had used and how they were changed so they would be individual to that film. This gave us the idea that we should maybe change something with the text to make it more unique to our film.
In the end we decided to go for Papyrus. We really liked this font. It jumped out from the page as soon as we saw it and we automatically knew that we had to use it as our font for our film. It was just so much more interesting that all the other fonts we saw. It was exactly what we needed and what we wanted when we started looking.
Now that we have chosen a font, we are going to play around with it on Photoshop to see how we can change it and make it more unique. Our initial ideas are to make the first letter of each word, a font size larger to make it stand out, but we are hoping that we can do something a bit more complicated.
