Our Film Title

We found it quite hard trying to think of a film title that we felt suggested the genre and went with the story line we envisioned. At first we thought a one word title would be effective as lots of films have titles like that making them memorable and being a word that sums the film up. However, after thinking long and hard we struggled to come up with a one word title that we were happy with so decided to think of other length titles too. That is when we came up with the title 'On the Run' which is still a short effective title, sounding quite mysterious, and also it relates to what the film is about with the character in the opening on the run from something that the audience is unaware of, then the film would go back following him on that journey as the crime is solved.

After deciding on a title we then needed a font for it, and I found the font by looking through a lot of the fonts on iMovie until I found one that I liked and thought went with the film well. There were two fonts that stood out to me that I chose between.

The first font was 'Wanted LET' which I thought was effective for this film as the font type is like the writing you would see on 'Wanted' signs, suggesting crime, and it is a clear, thick text that stands out.

The other font was 'Zingende' which I also thought would be good to use as it is a very clear, bold text and how the text has pointed, sharp looking edges on parts makes it look more edgy and suggests the crime/ violence from the murder that takes place in the film.

In the end I decided on the font 'Zingende' as I feel it looks more professional and stood out better against the end shot of the sky, which the text needed to do as it is the title of the film so needs to be clear to see. I made the font colour white as I felt a simple colour would be suitable for a mystery where not a lot is given away about the story line until the film progresses and things are gradually revealed, which this colour choice portrays.
