Font Research for Use Within Our Film

By researching different films such as "Donny Darko and Kiss The Girls" we decided on a basis for the titles use within our film. I researched some of these fonts on www.dafont.com and wanted to choose thriller type styles that would cause a sense of suspicion for the viewer and could relate to the specific convention of Thriller within the film. In my opinion, I remember the most effective titles in horror and thriller films being plain which suggests simplicity yet also creates an uneasy and suspenseful feel to the beginning of the film. Thus, my favourite font that I would like to use would be the type of font shown second down, as it is the simplist yet most effective in setting the right atmosphere within the film itself.

The Use of Copyright Free Music & Targeting Our Audience.

Within our film, we wanted to use a professional style music background that would create a sense of tension within the film to add to the Thriller genre of our choice. As a basis we visited www.audio.lgfl which is a copyright free site and chose a horror style piece of music that fitted perfectly to the scenes in our film which we were hugely pleased with. It consisted of continuous sharp sound effects rather than an ongoing composition yet worked so well and fitted in within the conventions of a thriller film which is exactly what we wanted to go alongside "Hotel Road"
We seperately researched the certification values such as 15 or 18 which we based along the aspects when targeting one specific audience. We have chosed to certify our film at a 15 as it involves mild forms of danger and horror yet isn't as extreme, such as bearing and using weapons such as knives or consisting of strong horror graphics. As the film contains teenagers of our own ages, we targeted to the same age audience of 15-17 as we believe this would interest them more by relating to similar social groups and relations which occur within the film, along with the excitement of danger and threat displayed within the '15' film opening.
