Titles and Fonts

The first font I looked at was from the film 'The Poker Club' by Dan Savage. The closest font I could acquire to the one used in The Poker Club, is called 'Pasta Palazzo' and was found on the website Dafont. The font is also sans because it doesn't have little serifs on the letters. In addition the font is very easy to read and also the font and colour used goes well with the background of playing cards.

The font used in the opening credits of the film Manhunt, uses quite a lot of different features. For instance kerning is used to separate the final few letters making it look inconsistent and out of place. The font colour or red connotes death and blood and so an enigma has already been put into the film so early on. Furthermore the font is large bold letters and also in sans serif which makes it stand out clearly to the viewers. The closest font I could find to the font used in Manhunt, was called 'Twofold' and was acquired from the website Dafont.

The font used in the film "Dr. No" is quite a basic and block like type possibly because of the time the film was made but is however very easily readable to the audience and it is in the sans serif style. The colour green that is used makes the words on the screen stand out with the dull black background, clearly showing the name of the film. The font that matched the one in Dr. No was located on Dafont and it was called "Basic". 

The font in the film "Seven" is sans serif and has a quite distorted texture to it as it looks like the words have been scratched away a bit making it more difficult to read. Furthermore they have used a slight shadow on the title to add effect as it makes it look as if it is shaking as well as using plain black and white colours to convey a sinister mood. Kerning is used between the E and 7 to place more emphasis on the middle letter which happens to be a number. The closest font to the one used in the film was found on Dafont and is called "Appleberry".

The Final Destination uses a quite basic font that is in serif form as the letters flick up at the end. The white typeface against the blood stained background makes it stand out and also makes it very clear to read. In the title the word "The" uses a different kerning space to the one used in "Final Destination" as it is a lot more spaced out. The closest font to the one used in The Final Destination was found on Dafont and goes by the name "Assassin". 

The final font that I looked at was from the film "The Dead Zone" and this font was also in serif form as the corners of each letter flicked up. The font is quite basic and easily readable with a black background, however the words have some sort of moving visual image which adds a different effect to the opening. The kerning is very consistent throughout with the same spacing between each letter. The font that was most like the one used in The Dead Zone was acquired from Dafont and is called 'Fling'.
