Research : Final Fonts For Our Film

For the past few days Della and I have been looking at various fonts that fit in with the horror genre of film, we have been watching opening sequences of films from youtube and then attempting to find a font we liked and that replicated the conventions of a horror/thriller title sequence on free font download site http://www.dafont.com/. We need two main fonts; one for the titles such as 'produced by' and the actors name's, and also one for the main film title, this needs to be bigger and more bold than the others in order to attract more attention to the name. However, I feel we should keep all of the rest of the titles similar as that is what's conventionally done in films such as The Orphange, The Exorcist and The Shining. Below are some of the fonts we liked :

Smaller Titles

Personally, I found Jellyka BeesAntique too hard to read. My personal preferences are 1942 Report, as I think it has an official and quite personal feel to it and also looks old and worn; a technique normally used in thriller film fonts, and either Scriptina or Throw My Hands Up In The Air because they are quite convetionally romantic style fonts, and I think it would provide an interesting contrast with the title. However I could see it being quite confusing for the audience if we were to use one of these two fonts as it doesn't make the genre as clear as 1942 Report.

Main Title

These are the main title fonts we liked the best. My personal faveourites are Angelic War, Broken Ghost and Stamp Act, because I feel that the first two have an eerie, haunting feel to them, and this will tie in with the theme of being able to look into the future. On the other hand I think Stamp Act is good because it's attention grabbing and looks like quite a powerful font, which will remain in the audience's mind. Although fonts such as Metropolitan are conventional of a horror film, to me they connote a lot of blood and violence, which could (like the font's for the smaller titles) give the viewer the wrong idea about genre.
