Title Ideas

Clare:

By looking at our blog theme, you can tell we like the handwriting, school style, as it represents the theme of our teen drama. We can tell that the protagonist is a teenage girl because we have looked at fairly feminine fonts, however, we want to keep the title simplistic to an extent so that it is recognisable enough but also appealing to a unisex. We also think that using a school like font shows that the main setting for our film is in a school. It also shows the youthfulness and naivety of a typical schoolgirl. 

This font is sweet and feminine, in the style of a girl's handwriting at school, sticking to the theme strongly as we are focusing on a teenage girl. However, it only really attracts a female audience and excludes the male audience because of the strict feminine style. Amanda: It looks too playful and doesn't reflect the seriousness involved in the storyline. We want it to flow yet be minimalistic. We think that having as much simple ideas yet effective ones is professional and business like.

This font is too plain and is less creative than the others. Although it's in the style of someone's handwriting, it is too boring to catch the audiences attention. It isn't memorable enough to be our main title in this case. For example, the Harry Potter franchise uses the same, unique font which everyone can recognise and therefore know. Amanda:  The bubbly nature/feel of this font also presents an almost playful element to our title. However, it looks like a females writing but isn't quite dramatic enough.

 

We like this title font because compared with the others it appears very unisex. We expect more females to be interested in the theme of our film because it focuses heavily on girls and the protagonist is also female, however we want our drama to appeal to both genders because the 'Cyberbully' analytics proved that some younger males watched a teenage drama.

Amanda: It also sticks to the school/student life theme because the font is in a hand-written style. The fact that the letters aren't joined together, which also means we could add effects to the individual letters, giving us more freedom.

This font is too fancy and feminine. The swirly handwriting may be confusing and unclear to some viewers which is why we want to use something a bit more simplified. The films which have influenced our trailer all use simple and less elaborate writing. For example, 'Trust' uses font in a similar style to Verdana with no extra swirly lines or playfulness, demonstrating the true seriousness of the drama. 

Amanda: This font almost suggests it is a romantic classic, like 'Wuthering Heights' or 'Jane Eyre'. It isn't modern enough, and seeing as our film involves technology, we think this is a bad idea.

This font is not readable for our audience as it is quite roughly drawn out and also very small. It doesn't accurately reflect our genre, but more of a horror/romance. Although it is identifiable and memorable for the audience, it is also feminine and therefore only attracts a niche audience.  

Amanda: Again, this font is written in quite a classic style, not modern enough for our film. Also the letters are too closely joined to add any effects to the individual letters.
