Title and the fonts!

I hope you have had a good easter! I sure have! Yet nevertheless, I cannot sit back and relax - I am back to work on this production as I simply want this to be the best film yet for SnazyMedia Productions.
I have decided to do my own analysis and research into fonts that can be used for our title, 'Undisclosed Desires', as I feel that the font shows what exactly the genre of the film will be and can foreshadow what is likely to happen later on in the film; therefore grabbing the audience's attention and keeping them in suspense. The main role of the font is to bring out the title of the film and to start off the atmosphere between the audience and the film which will help set the scene and genre.

_________________________________

Font 1: Comic Sans MS
This font would reflect a relaxed atmospheric film which would likely be used in a drama or adventure film. It is an informal font which I believe looks good but does not fit our genre of film, Thriller, so therefore I do not believe it could be used as the title of our film.

Font 2: Arial Black


This font is a complete contrast to the one above in that it is bold, sharp and extremely eye-catching. This font would be perfect to grab the audience's attention and for an action film but I do not feel it would be suitable for our thriller as you need a font that is not only bold but also representing the 'Halt' part of the title.

Font 3: Capitals and Non-Capitals

 
This font is a unique idea which I have thought of which not only stands out from the above fonts, but would confuse the audience as it would make them wonder why some letters are capitals and some are not capitals. Analysing this font, I believe that this would look good integrated with 'Font 2' as it would be bold, sharp and confusing which one of the thriller conventions are to confuse the audience until the director decides to reveal all.

My next step now is to discuss fonts with my colleagues and collaborate our ideas until we come to a conclusion on what font we shall use for our title, 'Undisclosed Desires'
