Fonts for our film opening

I have been looking into fonts for our film opening, and I'm in a bit of a dilemma. I'm wondering whether or not we should have a quirky font, or a bold almost scary font. I personally think a quirky, squiggly font will suit our film as it reflects our film as it is indie and quirky.

Our second draft

This is our second draft of our film opening. As you can see it has progressed smoothly since our first draft. We are hoping to still film, and get the footage we need. We need to also film an ending which leaves the viewers wanting more. At the moment it almost looks like a music video, so we are hoping to maybe add another character in towards the end of the 2.00 clip.

Definitions

Hopefully I will add more definitions here, but for now I have 3 key terms for section B in the exam.

Consumption: People paying at the cinema, renting or buying DVDs and downloading and purchasing related products.

Distribution: Promoting films and getting them into cinemas and out on to DVD as well as any spin offs/related media products.

Production: Making films

The Woman In Black



Yet another film I am dying to see in the cinema. This time I think I'll cry with fear! I've heard great things about the theatre production, so I'm hoping the film lives up to my expectations. The Guardian said "It has proven the most successful British horror of all time at the box office". It stars Daniel Radcliffe, who is famously known for his role as Harry Potter. My media class is hoping to watch this in the cinema when it comes out. Absolutely terrified!

The Vow



I do not know how I'm going to cope watching the film as I've already cried at the trailer! This film looks absolutely amazing and I can't wait to watch it as soon as it comes out. I have heard that it is an amazing film that will leave me wanting more.

About time it snowed :D

Finally god has heard our prayers! We've been wishing for snow for months and it's about time we got some! Over the weekend it has been snowing very heavily, and my group decided it is a perfect opportunity to film. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the filming, although I heard great feedback, and the day went incredibly well! We practically have all the footage we need, yet I feel we probably should try and film on a day it rains. As we have been editing our footage after every day we have filmed, our film is almost finished. My group still needs to think of a title and production company, but we still have lots of time. We have also thought about the font we are going to use as our names come up, perhaps a typewriting font?
