Font Stlye

I have been researching different fonts that will suit my film genre. I want quite a feminine font to represent the film but I also want the font to look quite quirky. I will use my chosen font on my three products, film trailer, DVD magazine front cover and my DVD case cover. I will use the website, 'www.dafont.com'. This website has a range of different fonts that can be downloaded.

These are a few of my favourite fonts, I will ask my fellow media students to chose there favourite font and see which one gets the most votes.

Font Number 1- 'Simply Gorgeous'

This is the first font that caught my eye, I think this font is appropriate for my three products as it is really girly which goes with the theme, 'chick flick'. The font also looks fun and quite quirky. Although I think this font would work I find that the writing may be quite hard to read, this could be a problem as I want people to remember the name of my film and if the audience cannot read the name the film could be easily forgotten.

Font Number 2- 'Riesling'

This font is called 'Riesling', I think this font looks professional but is still quite unique. The font is quite plain so it is easy to read and will appeal to my target audience. As the font, 'Riesling' is quite petites I will be able to make the font size bigger so the title will stand out more. I think that the 'S' used on the font works well as it look as if I am emphasing the fact that three 'IS' a crowd.

Font Number 3- Chocolate Box

My third chosen font is called, 'Chocolate box', I was attracted to the font as it is big and bold, so it really stands out. I think the font would really stand out on my three products but I'm not sure if this font will appeal to my target audience or the genre of my film. I think this font represents a more powerful film such as a horror or action film.

Font Number 4- 'Before the rain'

'Before the rain' is the next font I thought would work well for my products. Initially, I thought this font looked really feminine and would really compliments my film genre, 'chick flick'. Although, I do think the font would work within my theme as it is quite quirky, I think the font is quite conventional and would have been used many times before. I would also worry incase the font wouldnt be eaily read.

Font Number 5-'English'

This font is the last I have been inspired by. I think the font will really compliments my three products, DVD case, magazine cover and magazine front cover, It fits well within my, 'chick flick' genre and I think the font overall does have a feminime feel to it. I think 'English' font is quirky and different but will still be read easily. I think it will attract my target audience of females as it is a girly font.

I asked 12 students in my media class which font they preffered and if they thought the font was appropriate for my film genre and target audience. The font with the most students votes was font number five, 'English'. This was one of my favourite chosen fonts so I will be using it for my three products.
