Font

Choosing the font for our thriller was a fairly basic task as we had a pretty clear idea of what type of font we thought would be effective. After looking at various fonts we finally chose Big Caslon.

'Sealed'

This is a pointed serif font, which is formal and traditional, the pointed element to it foreshadows the idea of danger and violence later on in the film. You often see this style of font on newspapers, books and legal documents, this displays the formal nature of the font. Ballet is a very disciplined and regimented dance and so is this font, it is evenly balanced and symmetrical, so during the title sequence, the font and the footage mirror each other. It also shows the idea of OCD, which seems abnormal to most people, thus gives a thrilling effect.

Another film which uses this type of font is 'Identity':

Identity is a film about people stranded at a desolate Nevada motel during a nasty rainstorm, ten strangers become acquainted with each other when they realise that they're being killed off one by one.

The font is very alike the font we have used, except they have made theirs red, suggesting that the film will be more gory with blood, whereas our font is white to represent the idea of innocence and purity.
