Opening Credits - Draft Two

Experimenting With Fonts:

I experimented with many different kinds of fonts, looking at eerie fonts, up tempo fonts, gothic fonts and many others. Here are a list of the fonts I looked at and the reason why I chose a specific font.

Arial Narrow
When I first began looking at this font I thought that it would look alright within my opening sequence but it did not give that thriller essence that I was after and just looked basically boring, this would not attract an audience, therefore I did not choose this font.

Century Gothic
At first I did decide to go with this font and by giving a red colour to the font, it would make the titles look like a thriller, but after much consideration and attention to the font, I decided that it did not really connote a big enough thriller feel which is what I was after, so I decided not to use it.

Comic Sans MS
When looking at the comic sans ms font, I immediately saw that it did not fit in with either the conventions of a thriller, nor did it have that thriller essence that I was after, the font is better in use when writing a poster or something that requires a 'fun' factor, obviously I did not want to connote a fun factor so I did not use this font.
