Throughout out film opening we used titles – when showing the our names in between shots with very plain font on a black background – this simple yet effective style is a convention used by thriller films regularly, however for the title of the film we had to use a more sinister style to make it stand out from the names. We downloaded a few fonts from www.dafont.com and eventually decided on a stony style font which represented the cold, harsh nature of the hooded man in our opening.
We also used the Paramount title at the start of the opening to show what institution we were using to distribute our film; we decided to use Paramount as our institution as it is a large institution that can screen our film world wide, and with the large budget that it has, it can help us produce a good film. At first we weren’t sure whether we could use the Paramount logo at the start as we thought that we might be accused of copyright, but eventually our teacher gave us permission to feature it.
Overall I feel that the fonts and titles that we used were very effective and worked well in the film; I think we did very well to use the conventions effectively.
