BB - Editing titles

At the start of our film we have put in titles, which have needed thought with the font and colour of them, Below are some of the few ideas we have been looking at and what thoughts we have had of why we should use them at the start of our slasher film opening.

This Font we used was the Capitsalsd font in Final cut pro and we used this font because it was a serif font and that signifies the sharp knife effect of the slasher genre with the little serif edges of the lettering and indicates the cutting edge horror. 

For this title we have again used the Capitals Font however in this one we have used a colour effect on the Font and this is the Scarlet effect which is a preset colour which has been applied to signify the blood and gore of the slasher film opening. We also feel that the chosen colour of this title has got some intertexuality to the film A Nightmare On Elm Street (Samuel Bayer, 2010) due to the red colouring of the title.


For this Font we have used a completely differnet Font where by we have gone with the Eccentric STD Font which makes the title look like that from the film Halloween (John Carpenter, 1978) showing some intent of intertexuality from this title example as well as the previous one.
