For me to be able to achieve the title font I wanted, I used Microsoft power point to add in the text. This is because it is easy to change the colour of the font, with many to choose from, and it is also easy to change the size and arrangement to make it suit the background/picture.
This is one of the fonts in which I believed would suit my poster best, and so I developed my poster further by testing to see if it looked as good as I thought it would. I do think it looks quite effective and does give off the impression of the film being a horror/thriller.
In addition to trying this font on my poster, I chose to try this font as well (below), because I believed these two fonts are most suited to the type of impression I wanted the poster as a whole to give off.
The reason I chose the colour I did for the testing of these fonts is because it contrasts well against the dark colouring of the picture, but it also helps to highlight the parts of the picture that are lit up slightly. Other colours which I believe may work well for this poster, as well as this overtly olive colour, are a deep red or bright white with a deep red shadowed effect. Here are the two other colour possibilities.
At the beginning of my planning that I was going to have my title like, I was sure I was going to use the original overtly olive colour to present the title of my film, but now, after practising with different colours, I have now decided that the white with the deep red shadowing title would create the right effect for my genre and also it will present the film in the way that I wanted.
I also feel that the font in which I presented second; the one I presented with the chosen colour theme of the poster as well, is the font I feel I am going to use. I feel this is because it suits the colour better than the other font, and also gives off more of an idyllic horror theme.
