Planning Post of Choice (Titles - Fonts)

Whats up blog, tuning in for my second blog of the week. Last blog focused on the process of creating our logo, that process was fun and enjoying. Today's post is going to talk about the title and font we are going to use for the first 20 seconds of the film.

Font

To begin our film opening we are choosing to display our logo to the production company we made, SSJ Entertainment. The font we chose for the logo was Gagalin because it fit vibe of the logo, the cool color hues, the blues mesh together well, and the calming Gagalin font helps to demonstrate the calmness our logo gives off. We choose for this to the first text because we want the audience to know who they are working with.

 

Following the logo we move on to the credits. We are not done with the credits however we have started by showing our director and illustrator for the film, these will appear on the same shot so that we can have enough time to include all the credits without using up too much time. We are choosing not to show the credits in a large font size, this is because we don't want the credits to be overpowering, meaning, we want the audience to be able to enjoy the shots we have to offer in the background, and not be stupefied. As a group we also decided to make the font subtle yet legible and easily recognizable for any audience. This is because we want the audience to be able to read the credits with nothing impeding them. The Lazydog font fits our needs perfectly.

 

The last type of font we will use the film is called Norwester. I chose this font in specific because it ties to the theme or our film mystery/thriller/sci-fi, I also chose thing font as the title because when animated it looks extremely well. You know when you watch numbers flip on certain clocks or even on pieces of paper. That is the intent because our title includes a number, a number that is very important for the overall theme of the film.

Title

Now for the title. The title we chose for the film was hard to decide on. We struggled because what if the title sounded corny or it didn't fit the theme of the film. The title is one of the most important aspects of this project because that's how people are going to recognize the film. However, we got it "Case 48". I'll break down both words so that you can know the reason why we chose this title. First the word "case" refers to the investigation Maverick will do throughout the film as too why a problem surfaced after the medicine was made. And then "48" comes from the amount of time the doctor said that the people who took the medicine have left "48 hours".
