Typography is the different fonts and writing you present in your writing. The choice of typography needs to be relevant not only to the genre, but to the sub-genre also. Above are some examples of thriller titles that use interesting typography to present their film.
Why typography is important:
-helps provide connotations for the film
-can reflect the tone and mood of the film
-can highlight emotions from the audience
-reflects the genre well
What to look out for:
-colour
-size
-font
-letter type
-positioning of letters
From looking at the above tiles, the ones I most prefer are the 'Seven' title, 'The Possession', 'Sinister' and 'the strangers'. The reason I like these is because the white stands out against the black and there is a good contrast between the colours. They also look quite faint and spooky which is what I think thrillers should represent.
What I plan to use:
-white
-small font
-faded/faint
-small letters
-will position some of the letters in odd positions so it looks even more spooky
Below is my favourite type and I hope to create something like this.
Research here into thriller typography is good. You provide good examples of existing thrillers and comment on what you hope to create.
