Typography and Title Practical

Typography and Title Practical


As we have decided that the title of our films title will be ‘Cardboard City’ I used Photoshop to experiment with different fonts and colours. As the running theme of our film is social realism we decided to keep the title simple and have no extra effects so that it reflects the stripped mood of the film opening. This choice has also been made by looking at other film titles like ‘The Selfish Giant’ and ‘Fish Tank’. Although the font they use is unavailable to us as a group we did look at similar font before deciding on ‘Tw Cen MT’, this font resembles the one used for Tube Stations.
I originally completed the colour samples in a different font, before searching through different fonts to find the one I wanted.



After finding the right one I added another colour samples. I chose to do shades of blue as our opening scene has some contrasting blue colours that have a very effective look and I wanted to incorporate this into our title, the idea of a coloured title was taken from the movie posters at the top of the page.



As we will have our title on a black screen I decided to complete the samples with an accurate presentation.

The colour samples shown may not be used in our final product but they are a baseline as to what we want. I also did a sample using pink but I decided that it would not accurately reflect the toe of the film.
