Tile And Typography

Analyzing three posters typography and title. And identify the themes they I trying to convey through

this. Also I will be talking about our own title and how we came to deciding the title. And looking at different

typographies to us.

Vanishing COLOUR: The colour used is Bright yellow and this relates to light. For example is is very simile to the colour of a light bulb. Indicating that light sources are an important aspect in the film. And the darker and lighter shades could represent how the light is fighting the darkness and binary opposites of good VS evil .

FONT: The font resembles that of a shop sign indicating where it may be set in a shop or high street. And linking to the importance of light in the film

LAYOUT STYLE: They have used a gradient effect on it that makes it transparent and that it disappearing . Linking to the narrative of the film that its based on the disappearance of something being a feature.

THEMES: The title and typography conveys to its audience .That location is based in high street from the style of the typography relating to shop lights display. And the disappearance of something is highlighted through the name and the edit they have used on the font. Also the importance of light is highlighted by the color used.

Playback COLOUR: The colours used are red and white. Giving it a blood stained effect highlighting the narrative to the audience. That it’s going to have deaths and murders relating to watching something or video tapes.

Font styleThe style represents VHS recording , this is shown by the recognizable distorted lines running through the font that is linked with video players and old tv’s. But that we can also associate with vhs tape or watching something on television. Highlighting that this is an impotent aspect of the narrative.

Layout: The font has blood stains surrounding it. Highlight the genre of horror and representing that there murders/deaths in this film.

Jennifer’s Body Colour: In this case I feel the red is there to represent two things. Firstly blood relaying the murders and deaths that are going to occur in this movie. Also the sexy nature of the film and how attractive and luring the killer is a key theme in this film how here beauty hides the evilness inside her.

Typography: They have used this high school font. That will highlight different themes such as the setting of the film (a school). Also that is based around young adults and themes in the narrative that it could be based on high school popularity and evil murder amongst these problems.

Evaluation of the purpose of typography.

All these films have conveyed themes and aspects of there narrative really well through a range of different ways. They have thought of a range of ways to convey different aspects. Such as the colour using the colour red in the title symbolizes blood and links strongly with the genre of horror . Also the actual font they use such as jock typography in ‘Jennifer's Body’ highlights the high school theme in this movie. And different effects such as in the vanishing can really make your titles come to life and convey another theme in the narrative.

The House of The Watched Our Film Title

Firstly we discussed and though about different aspects of the we wanted to include in our title. Such as isolation, being watched, death. We though about different words to use and how this related to out film. We worked about with the idea of using the title of the song ‘The Fear’ that I film is based on. But we felt that this did not represent isolation and death also did not explain anything about the film. So we worked with ‘The Watched’ as this highlighted the main themes to why the deaths are occurring. But we wanted to convey the pressures of being isolated from everyone else and why they wouldn't just leave a soon as the first death occurred. So we finally came out with ‘ The House Of The Watched’ we where all really happy with this title and thought that it convey enough about different aspects in the film for the audience to get a rough idea about the narrative.

Typography

Here are the different font styles we look at on a website called ‘DaFront’ we wanted a worn away look to the writing. Also for the font to really symbolise the genre of horror. For example we thought that the typography style was one that we see a lot in horror films. I thought that maybe using a camera lens in replacement of the ‘o’s would be nice way of link the title to the narrative of our film. Also we could relate it teen slasher horror by maybe linking the font style to teenagers. For example like they have used in ‘Jennifer's Body’ symbolises an American high school.
