Textual Font

The style of font on any trailer, magazine front cover or film poster is extremely important and vital for the overall presentation of the product. It is essential that the text used easily portrays the genre of the film and works well with the initial story.
To give me a rough idea of what type of font i want to go with, we decided to all look on a website named "dafont.com" which has a wide variety of different styles of font. These are a few possible fonts that we may go with:

This is the first possible font style, names Action Of The Time New by Galdino Otten. The reason i chose this one as a possible text font is because it has a sort of distorted look to it, which runs well with the theme of paranormal activities that occur in the film. As well as this parts of the text have faded in an almost decading way, acting as an immediate indicator towards death and decay, continuing the theme of thriller.

This is my second possible font option, this one differs from the previous one
because instead of the distorted effect it leans more towards horror, and appears as if it is dripping. The effect of dripping immediately looks as if it could be blood, although this is a good option one negative side to it could be that it is leaning more towards the horror genre rather then the supernatural thriller.


This font is a lot less busy then the other two previous ones, but this is something which i think can work well, as it makes the title easy to read whilst still having an effect. In this case the text has an illusion as if the letters are cracked and broken which i think would relate well to the thriller theme. The bold writing also means that it will stand out well from the rest of the page and jump out of the screen.

This font is similar to the other distorted texts and it has a sort of eroded look to it. Even though the text is distorted and slightly blury it is still easily readible and will stand out from the rest of the page.
