Typography
Typography is a text composed to create a readable coherent, and visually satisfying whole that works invisibly, with out the awareness of the reader. Typography is a art of arranging an aspect of a design that has type in, by arrangement of size, color, font and layout. When finding a title for your film the typography should match the genre, for example the typography for a thriller film should give the audience a chilling responds by making the title look creepy and dark. For a Disney film the title should be bold and colorful.
Typography in a thriller:
Thriller: typography in " I spit on your grave" has a chilling affect and gives an idea to the audience that there will be dangers, and harmful events in the movie, The blood in the title gives me an idea that someone will die in the movie and if you look closely there is straight lines which looks mysterious. The connotation is black and red which are both dark ad evil colors. The font size is both small and big so it grabs the attention on the main word "spit " or "grave".
Trunk: the typography for "Trunk" is the font grabs attention and also gives lots of ideas such s the blood smeared all over the title which gives an idea that there is danger, killing and evil going on in the movie, and when you look closely at the title you can see lines and holes, that could show the movie is very twisting plot and has a lot of mystery in it.
Opening credits
It is shown in movies, TV and video game. The opening credits are shown at the very beginning and listing the main members of the production. It usually comes up in a blank screen or when the opening scene start. There may or may not be accompanying music. When opening credits are built into a separate sequence of their own, the correct term is title sequence (such as the familiar James Bond and Pink Panther title sequences)The purpose of film credits is that to shows who toke part, who done the make up, who directed it ect... Its also grabbing the audience attention if a well known celebrity is in the movie more people will be interested or if a well known directed who made successful movies before has made a new one the audience would want to see it.
The feel of the opening credits mainly comes from the soundtrack as it creates the tension of the opening credits and also the font of the opening credit helps give ideas of the genre and what could happen in the film. A really good opening credits is "Seven" because it gives a lot of feels to the audience.
"Seven" opening credit gives a lot of idea about the character. It shows a lot of psychological tendencies going on in the opening credits. The sound in the opening credits is building tension and making the audience feel uncomfortable the sound gradually becomes louder. The editing in the opening credits is able to give us a better understanding of the sequence as well as the set of tone for the rest of the movie. There are a lot of colours contrasting which can represent the fight between the good and evil. The font in the opening credit looks psychological and mysterious.
Opening Credits: Ok post, could always use more detail and examples of other styles, also needs a conclusion saying what you intend to do in your own work and always needs to link back to your audience and the affect/effect you want it to have on them when watching!
