EXPLORING THE TYPOGRAPHY FEATURED IN THE TRAILER

Silent House

After watching the trailer the font featured in the trailer wasn’t effective enough. I felt it stood out for the wrong reasons and broke down a bit off the horror feeling. The writing was to simple and basic and I felt wasn’t appropriate enough for the horror genre. After looking at other horror trailers I realsied that the typography used in the trailer remains simple but maybe the way in which the text is then edited onto the trailer differs. The first trailer I looked at was silent house a horror/thriller just like ours ,although the writing is simple it still look effective as the font seems to be a light effect with the background shot being a dark room .The font chosen seems to be the only light left on the screen this infers that the witting is all the light/hope left .

The last exorcism

The next trailer I looked at was The last exorcism. Again the typography is very basic. In contrast with the ancient rough sandy background the writing seems crackled .The texts and background looks like scriptures. The last exorcism is a horror/thriller so it was useful to look so I can get ideas for my trailer.

I decided to look on dafont and find a more appropriate typography one that will help build tension and add to the terror. I would like to explore the editing skills so that possibly the font could depict into little pieces away from the background .
