We chose this typography because we liked the non-imediate juxtaposition between the black background and the white text.The text is enlarged but slightly faded this gives the a focusing effect on the title. I like this type face because it has a slight distressed look to it which could relate to the distressed mind of our main character in the film. One criticism of this type face is the boldness of the lettering, although it does draw attention to the title it is a very obvious choice of typography for an opening title sequence; therefore it may be best to find the right composition between the boldness and lettering for our title in the opening sequence.
This second typography example was chosen because it looks as if it has been hand drawn with a marker; we thought this would relate to our film because our main character creates his own book and shows he has a created yet twisted mind. The etching in the text shows the twisted state if mind the character in our narrative. Although this concept could also make our film very predictable and we don't want to give too much away about the entire narrative within the first few minutes; as our film is built on suspense and drama. So we need the element of surprise at the same time as we need the element of a twisted mind.
This is the third typography design we came up with, we found that the way in which the letter 'e' was mirrored created the effect of something being twisted and not right which resembles our male lead in the narrative as his mental state is twisted and in a way not right.
