Title Poster Ideas
For the title of my poster I wanted it in the format of a magazine font so I googled.
With two options to portray the magazine style effect and wanting to place the title bold up in the top of my poster. I experiemented with 'Garamond' and 'Helvetica'.
Here are the results below.
Garamond
Helvetica
After experiementing with the two fonts I decided I prefered the second, Helvetia due to it's bold style and the fact it fitted in better with my picture instead of Garamond which gave a more old time feel and I did not like the fact the ends were pointy as it doesn't fit in with the picture.
So Helvectia is a strong candiadste for my choice of font.
But from researching short film posters I realised that this style of font might not fit in with the genre of my poster which is meant to be a horror style so taking inspiration from one of my research posters. Click here to see research.
I liked Room 107's title which is quite gorey and scary because it has the effect of blood running down it.
So I found a similar text online to match it.
I downloaded the font 'Bloodlust' and changed the colour and the writing to create
This makes the poster look more scary and threatening but I feel like it does not fit in well with the rest of the poster and the film. In our film there is no mention of blood which can lead the audience to think the poster and the film are different and it doesn't fit the thriller genre as it ties in with a horror genre.
Good work on the blog Imogen. My own feeling about this is that if you use a simpler font as you are suggesting, it needs to be thicker, and bolder than the ones you have shown. Remember that what ever you choose, you need to select the same font (or very close) for the film title insert in editing.
