Typography

Typography & It's Uses

To show our credits - featuring our director's/editor's names etc. - we used the a sans serif-like font, as it was functional and served no other purpose than to showcase our personnel. Moreover, the font of a title, may symbolise what a films about, its genre

The idea stated in the video - "less is more" - is one we (my group) incorporated into our opening scene. As stated above, our text used to show our actors and film crew in a plain and simple way, a convention that is used throughout the film industry, let-alone the thriller genre.


The bold text in the film's title suggests that the film is a blockbuster - big films such as Taken often share similarities in their fonts regardless of genre - the use of red suggests that it's an action film, or, at the very least, incorporates action into the film. Also - as previously stated - the lead actors and such are given a plain, unassuming text to showcase their names, a convention we (as a group) followed during our preparation of our films.
