Today we also looked at possible fonts for our poster/magazine cover. We used the fonts readily available to us on Word but found that the website DaFont had many more fonts that would suit our poster/magazine cover more. After searching the website we downloaded a variety of fonts we felt would be relevant and fitting with the horror genre and would work well against our chosen images.
When we wrote up our title in the fonts we had downloaded we realised that some of the ones we had chosen would not be as successful as others. They were either difficult to read or we felt that they would detract the eye from the audience. Others we felt would also be 'lost' against the image/background of our poster or magazine cover. However, the decision for the font we shall use was unanimous, and we both agreed that the font Broken 74 was the most suitable and would be the most effective.
This was our favourite font as it subtly creates an atmosphere of terror and reflects the genre of horror perfectly. The jagged edges and scratched effect mirror the tension and suspense we hope to convey in our trailer. Also, the scratches across the writing look similar to the barbed wire fence of the pheasant cage used in the footage, so the font itself can be directly linked to the trailer. This font is powerful and put against an image for our poster/magazine cover will not detract attention from the image or 'fade into the background'.
