Typography - Film titles

When it came to creating the font for our film we decided to look into other films and how there titles tie in with the genre of their film.

  
                                                                 Madagascar 2

                                   
Straight away we know that this film is aimed at children from the bright yellow and orange colouring along with the wavy block lettering which implies fun and happiness.The waves also suggest that this movie is about adventure. The film location is also given away in the font with the "Escape 2 Africa" written in a stick font which is usually associated with Africa.


We then looked at film titles along the lines of the same genre of our own production, below is an image from the world renown horror film "SAW"


As you can see there is a distinct difference in the fonts style and colouring.
The text seems to have been written in black ink, with the numbers in roman numerals to give it a satanic horror theme.
