I have considered this font for the title of my short film. It is a clear and basic typography which leaves a sense of enigma as it doesn’t give much away. This would be an ideal font to use for my film poster as it would not overcome the focal image and so the focal image would stand out more than the title (although the title will be visible to the audience).

This font has more of a scary tone than the previous typography; the blurring of the letters

may connote a sinister theme and possibly blood. Although my short film is not of the

horror genre, it includes themes of stress and anxiety and involves a suicide and therefore this typography will be suitable for my short

film. Moreover, it connotes that my short film doesn’t end well and that it is trying to convey a meaningful and serious message across (on arranged marriages) as it is based on social

realism.

I am also considering this typography for my short film. This typography is big and bold which

will make it stand out and possibly be the first thing that the audience see. The rigid formality of the font resembles and connotes Sofia’s life

and how she feels trapped and almost imprisoned, pressured in to doing something she

doesn’t want to do. Furthermore, the typography will mostly be found in action movies

that involve crime and prison due to the structure of it. As Sofia is being forced in to

agreeing to something she doesn’t want, the typography connotes her misery and the idea

that Sofia feels imprisoned.

I am very fond of this typography and would like to use it for the title of my short film. I believe that it gives a sense of enigma and doesn’t give much away which is what I am

aiming for. The ‘droppings’ from the text connote blood, pain and agony which are the

linked to the themes of my short film.
