Font Research

We chose the title 'Them' for our thriller as we have decided to do it from the unfortunate perspective of the wife. She is so mad that her husband, who she loves very much, could do something that could hurt her so deeply. She then begins to blame him and his mistress for the impact it has had on her mental illness. She blames 'them' for all her problems in life.

Here are the four fonts I have chosen:

Here is the first one, I liked this one because if we chose to write it in red it could look like blood. This would link to the theme of violence in our thriller opening and as well as that the brutality of the violence would also be portrayed through this. I like that its written in black capitals as it will stand out against anything we put behind it.

The second font I have chosen is one that looks as though it has roots growing out the bottom of it. This could link to how you make a family tree. The women who married this man placed her roots in him, their whole future and she feels like that has been ripped out from under her. The gaps in the words can link to the mental health, how parts of her personality are missing which mean she reacts more than she should to this situation. I think this font would be written in a dark green or brown colour which links to the idea of a family tree.

This font, is very similar to the first font so it links together the first font as well as the idea about the gaps in it linking to her mental illness. However the differences include the fact that this one is bolder and the corners are harsher- which inclines me to believe this one would fit better than the first one as it looks like it would fit a thriller movie better. I believe this would also be written in a red colour. This would again represent the theme of violence we would like to portray.

This one is different to the others, although it still has the theme of dripping blood, it isn't block capitals. I think this gives it a feminine touch- indicating that the antagonist is a female. As well as this, it could be seen to not be as 'creepy' as the others, which may fit our film opening better as it isn't a 'creepy' film opening. This means our film isn't based round supernatural occurrences or something similar it is very much a real life story (although it may not occur in everyday life). The font here enables you to think this.
