GRID Fonts

As a group we have been experimenting with fonts and have been finalizing our final title with the help of Picmonkey.com. We wanted to have a drama/sci fi effect with our film and evolved our ideas from using a shadow or give it a more gritter look with the typewriter, which relates to the use of the internet and how humans will have to revert back to basics.

The first one we decided to experiment with a less serious style. Although we ended up not using this font we did like the mood it gave off with the shadow, however we could not recreate this style after this and decided to go for a more serious approach instead.

Our second font was a more intense outline and had scrapes to look beaten up. However this feels more to do with a war or epic genre which does not tie into our aims and contexts nor does it apply to our Sci/Fi genre. On the contrary we decided to try and keep the jagged edges and search for a parallel lined font that is seen in films like 'Cowboys VS Aliens' and 'Oblivion'.

Third choice was more to the desired effect with less grit but more outline. This worked better for us as we can define each letter and separate them if we wanted to in our opening.

Fourth font delves into more Sci-Fi than drama but does have some attitude to the wording. You know the words are on the screen and it becomes apparent this is the main title and not a sub font for actors/Talent or crew.

Finally Our last font we tried to combine the two once more but we feel this did not work to the standard we wanted. We decided not to use Picmonkey for our credit sequences and instead decided to use Adobe After Effects as it would have interesting transitions and professional looking fonts.
