Finding fonts for my poster and trailer

Finding fonts for my poster and teaser trailer

I will be using sites, such as Dafont, Fontyukle, Linotype, and Fontmeme in order to find potential fonts to use for my film poster and teaser trailer. I have chosen to make a horror film, so I will choose fonts that I think reflect the genre. I will look at various different sites to try and find the fonts that I feel are appropriate and sustainable. I will be choosing approximately 10 that I think might work and I will complete a questionnaire or focus group, where my audience will tell me which fonts would be the most effective. The sites I will be looking at are Dafont, Fontyukle, Linotype and Font Meme.

How might this site be useful?

Dafont

https://www.dafont.com/

Danger Zone Warning
Headliner No. 45
Plane Crash
Scorched_earth
Nervous
Terror 2005
Heroin07
Blue_Baby

Dafont is a good website to use because it splits all the different fonts into categories. Although, I will think about using fonts from other websites due to the horror fonts on this website coming across as quite 1950's old school.

Fontyukle

https://www.fontyukle.net/en/

The only way this website is useful, is if I know the name of a certain font I am looking for. Additionally, the fonts aren't split into categories, resulting in not being able to find any suitable fonts for my Horror poster and movie trailer.

Linotype

https://www.linotype.com/

This website is good for finding suitable fonts, as it splits them all up into categories. However, you can't download the fonts for free, meaning I will have to go else where for them.

Font Meme

https://fontmeme.com/

Font meme is good as it shows different movie fonts all split up into specific genres. For instance, the Horror film 'The Purge' uses a very good font called 'Gotham', which I will consider using. Moreover, Font Meme also shows the font which 'Annabelle' uses. being ITC Giovanni.

Poster analysis introduction

I am going to conduct research and analysis towards the conventions of film posters. I have looked at five different posters from a variety of genres, in order to see if there are similarities within the conventions. This will help my understanding of the depth in film posters, thus benefitting me when I am making my own. Below are the five posters, each of different genres, which I chose to analyse the conventions of: 1) La La Land 2) Spider Man 3) Insidious 2 4) Hangover 2 5) The Notebook

Magazine cover analysis introduction

After looking at the conventions of movie posters, I will now do the exact same, but for film magazine covers. Both film magazines I will be looking at are aimed at different audience and will both be for different front covers from a different film magazine. In terms of design and layout, I will be able to see if both film magazines share the same conventions. Below are the two film magazine covers I will be analysing:

Evaluation - what have I learnt from my audience feedback?

Within my research and planning, I constantly had my target audience in mind. I therefore conducted several questionnaires and focus groups, in order to gather information on what my audience expected in regards to different media texts, along with making decisions based on their feedback. My main aim for my marketing campaign was for it to hold authenticity and realism for the audience. I questionnaires which I have included below helped me achieve this: Questionnaire for poster Questionnaire for magazine cover Questionnaire for teaser trailer Additionally, I have also conducted a series of questionnaires post production of my marketing campaign. I wanted to gather feed back from my audience to see if they felt that my poster, magazine cover and teaser trailer were sustainable, accurate and convincing. My posters questionnaire goes as follows: 1) Was the font I used effective in portraying the nature of a horror film? If so how? 2) Did you fee...
