Below, are screenshots of potential film fonts which I have taken from Dafont.com; I have chosen these as I thought they conveyed across the convention of virus sub-genre well enough to consider its use within our final film. Dafont.com allows individuals to upload fonts they have designed and publish them for others to use. This is a free website service meaning that my group and I will not have to pay to download or use the target audience's preference.
I have chosen 'I Still Know' as a potential font as it reminds me of Francis Lawrence's 'I Am Legend' title font which is also a virus sub-genre film. Here is the link to an earlier post I put on my blog where I analysed 'I Am Legend' poster design (http://rosielinesmediaa2.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/film-poster-analysis.html)
This particular font gives the appeal of being written in some sort of thick, liquid substance; if coloured red, this font would add to the conventions of the horror genre by presenting the idea of blood being used to write a message. This makes the audience question where the blood has come from supporting Barthes enigma theory.
Phobia characterized by a severe fear of the dark. It is triggered by the brain’s disfigured perception of what would, or could, happen when in a dark environment.
Similarly to 'ANARCHY', this font gives the appeal of being written in blood. This relates to how the infected within our virus sub-genre film begin to bleed from different parts of the body.
This particular font for me, connotes some form of authority losing power. This is due to the upper case lettering through (which suggests dominance) used throughout but how the colouring is uneven and the letters are slightly slanted to one side.
Out of all the potential title font styles, this is my least favourable style as I feel as though this font suits more of the vampire sub-genre of horror. This is due to its creepy, uneven width and how I personally think its shares similarities with F. W. Murnau 'Nosferatu' title font.
This font looks as if it has been scratched in order for a message to be presented. This connotes the idea of some sort of desperation as instead of the person using a pen or paint, they have chosen to engrave. Moreover, this juxtaposes the narrative of my film as the lettering would never fade yet the existence of society and normally begins to fade within our virus sub-genre film.
