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

 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:
