Poster: Title Planning

1. I went through fonts on Photoshop and the first one was too digital for a horror film and a film that's clown based. It didn't work well with the sub-genre of my movie and it fit more into the sub-genre of a paranormal movie.

2. Similarly, I felt this font was too digital. However, this one did not have any frightening appearance about it. For my title, I wanted to achieve an affect that made it clear it was a slasher based sub-genre. However, this title was also more paranormal than slasher.

3. This font was more specific towards my sub-genre as it had a playful font. There are sharp edges on the letters and it also gives the impression of a circus. However, the downfall of it was that it looked more childish than scary.

4. This is the final font and it is the one I decided to use for my horror poster. This is because, the features such as; circus like font were specific to my narrative and sub-genre. Furthermore, I felt this also appeared to draw more attention than the other fonts did. However, I made the colour darker for my poster as I wanted to create the effect that the title is fading away. Which ties with the narrative of the characters in the short film, fading away one by one.
