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.
