#18 Fonts Draft

    Hey everyone, welcome back to my blog! I'm here with another post, and today we're diving into the font draft for our project. Fonts play a crucial role in the opening sequence of our two-minute film because my team and I plan to have the title appear as the first image, serving as the opening shot. I will be presenting three font options that I am considering showing to my team members and discussing the rationale behind each choice.

    Let's start with 'Amstrong'. This font evokes the aesthetic of a vintage film from the early cinematic era. I appreciate this vibe because many horror movies are based on stories set in the past. For example, "The Exorcist," "Wolf Creek," and the very popular "The Conjuring" are all rooted in historical events. The 'Amstrong' font exudes a sense of fear while remaining visually engaging. It projects a blend of eerie and classic simplicity. Admittedly, I have a personal bias towards this font because I find it particularly appealing.

    Next, we have the 'Charu Chandan Blood Drip' font. This typeface evokes a gory aesthetic, and if it's the first thing seen in the film, viewers will immediately associate the film with the horror genre. It's also a personal favorite because it resembles blood dripping. Blood dripping typically signifies a way to evoke strong emotions and heighten the sense of danger. It taps into deep-rooted fears and contributes to the eerie atmosphere. This font fits perfectly and effectively communicates the genre to the audience, indicating that it is a horror film.

 

    Lastly, another promising option is the 'JEEPERS' font. This typeface resembles a faint, bloody look similar to 'Charu Chandan Blood Drip' but with less intensity and more of a structured appearance. The blood-like aesthetic is ideal for the horror genre and significantly enhances our team's two-minute opening. The font's appearance immediately suggests a connection to the horror genre. 'JEEPERS' strikes a balance by being simple yet impactful; it's not overly dramatic but still manages to catch the viewer's eye, requiring a closer look to fully appreciate its nuances.
