(Typography example)Typography is the style and font of a printed matter. In the context of media, typography is used for titles and credits of a film or television program. This useful as it allows the audience to get an idea of the type of film they will be watching and it will automatically make a certain feeling arise from the very beginning.
An example of Typography in the movie Seven. This type of typography creates a chilling feeling among the audience. The dark background contrast with the white font colour and therefore makes the typography really stand out. Furthermore, the shadow effect of the font creates a uneasy feeling among the audience and almost makes it feel like a shadow is lingering behind them
Another example of Typography is in the movie 'Zombieland' where rules on how to survive a zombie attack pops up throughout the movie. This typography is effective as it makes the movie seem like a game and therefore creates a lighthearted feeling in contrast to what is actually happening. The fact that the writing is in 3D makes it stand out as something important for the viewer as well as the people in the movie. The bold writing makes the rule appear as something that is or should be enforced.
Typography for my thriller opening
The typography for my Thriller opening will give the audience an understanding of what they will b watching and also give them a clear idea of what kind of movie it will be. My typography will be a font similar to 'This' and may cause the audience to feel anxious and full of suspense as to what they're going to see. The handwriting style may make the audience feel even more uneasy as it suggest that the antagonist in the thriller opening is someone that anyone could know in everyday life. To help me decide on the typography for my Thriller opening, i will use Dafont.com which has a range of different fonts and styles of writing.
