Font Analysis


Recently in our last class the group and I started discussing on what type of fonts we would use to show the credits and the title of the movie. So, I started researching and deciding which fonts would fit the theme the best. I found that in horror films the color red is most often used because it resembles blood and it is a very bold color. The color red is connotated to fear, aggression, danger, and anger. The red is usually a very bright crimson red to emphasize the pain and horror the character are going to have to survive through. The fonts used in horror films are usually very bold so the viewer feels the impact of the title, no horror film would use Arial or Times New Roman font because this would not allow the filmmaker to convey the genre of horror to the viewers. Horror films also tend to use fonts that seem to be written in blood or some type of liquid, another common font found in horror films is the hand written or carved font. These fonts emphasize the creepiness and horror of the film. I especially like the fonts that looked like they are carved because they usually connotate to demons or paranormal activity which is the scariest type of horror films to me. The hand-written type of font seems like some sort of monster carved the title into a wall, although this font would not really suite our film this is a good horror film font. The hand-written type font would not suite our film because our film has no relation to any other being or paranormal activity causing horror, our film is based around a cold blooded killer. I believe the font that would suite our film would be the dripping font in red to look like blood.

Antagonist

    In class, my group and I have begun to discuss who are characters are going to be, specifically the protagonist and antagonist.      After doing some research, I have found that there are  4 main types of villains. The evil villain, who has purely malicious intentions; the everyday antagonist, who simply opposes the main character and is not necessarily evil; the immoral entity, such as a totalitarian government; and the internal struggle, which would be an element of the protagonist itself. In our case, we find it best to use the evil villain as our antagonist. It is a horror movie, after all, and nothing strikes fear into the minds of people like a ruthless, senseless, killer.           For his backstory, the antagonist would have come from a rough family, where he dealt with great emotional trauma. The antagonist has a very dark soul and will show no remorse for his victims. The killer will be very mischievo...

Music Analysis/ Ideas

I believe all horror films need some sort of music that keeps the audience on edge, for example every time the audience here’s a certain track playing, the audience knows something bad is going to happen soon because every time you hear the music something bad happens to a character. My group and I decided we are going to make a short little track to use once or twice in our film opening to put the audience on edge. Our inspiration for this is Psycho (1960) in this film there was a soundtrack of ‘stingers’ which were made with violins being slashed very hard to create a eerie noise that would bring up all the nerves and butterflies each time you heard it. This tactic has now been mirrored in countless horror films as this certain noise created by the violins just creates the creepy vibe that makes the hairs on the back of your neck spike up. I plan to record this track on Audacity which is a recording software I have had downloaded to my laptop for a while now, Audacity has all the t...
