Fonts

For our credits font we wanted to create a font that stood out and looked modern and exciting, yet at the same time shouldn't be too showy. We didn't want anything too complex and arty as it wouldn't give it such a high brow look, and it would reduce how neat and clean the film looks. The credits shouldn't be too intrusive, as they would distract the audience from the action, and they shouldn't be so simple that they distract the audience because they look so amateur. Overall I don't think that the font should be showing off in anyway, just simple, yet classy. After going through numerous font websites, the font we finally chose was this one: 'Revolution'

This was exactly what we were looking for. It is very classy and I like the neat edges, particularly the sharp 'V'. It stands out, but not too much, so it doesn't intrude on the action. Overall a very stylish font that works perfectly.

For the title we wanted something slightly different, as it had to stand out a lot more to show people that they have to look at it. We wanted something relatively simple and classy, but with a bit mroe extravagence as well. It couldn't be as simple as the credits, or it wouldn't stand out enough. We took inspiration from the 2012 film 'Skyfall', which is a similiar style film of the same genre.



As you can see, there are still the sharp, neat edges to it and it still looks very classy, but it has a distinct eroded sort of effect to it, which looks very good, as it captures the mood better. It's just a simple little adjustment, but it really makes the title stand out, and the audience would realise it is something special. We chose a fairly basic font, and we edited it quite a bit, so we got a similiar erosion effect, except our erosion looks slightly different. Instead of having the sort of faded erosion that the Skyfall logo has, ours has a more scratched type of erosion that makes it look as if it has been attacked, and it gives it a more violent look. I don't think it would have suited Skyfall as well, as the font in Skyfall reflects the film, but I really think that this different erode really suits our film. Here is our completed logo:
