Digital Film Year 2 - Experiment With Text

For the font, originally I was going to go with the idea which I did in an experiment earlier where I was gona handraw the fonts myself and cut them out as I really like that effect as it complemented the imagery well, However due to alot of time developing my ideas, I thought it would be less time consuming if I picked a font. What I was looking for was a font that was kind of in your face and was looking at a kind of inky text which would work well and compliment with the blood spllaters, howeever I also liked the idea at looking at some handrawn fonts as like previously mentioned it is asociated to the style of gaphic novels well with the handrawn feel.

I also thought about how the text will apear within the sequence and I thought the best option as I wanted it to be kind of in your face and fast pased is to just apear and go without and animation or Blending, apart from the opening shot where I think a blending would be apropiate as its the start. Im also going to have the text in capitals to kind of go with the in your face feel, and be more dominant to go well with the genre.




Heres the first text which really struck my attention, the font name is "Broken Ghost" and from fist look it was almost the perfect font as it was exactly what I was looking for anf forfilled the criteria perfectly, and did several tests with the font and It really worked well in all sizes and colours and went well against all colours and imagery. Really like the kind of messy ink feel it goes well with splatters, and looks good in red as looks like a blood splatter.









Heres a few more typeface which grabbed my attention but to be honest my decision was already made, but these did gran my attention, but none of them could even compare
