Font Analysis

We can often tell that a film is a Thriller partially because of the font used in the title. What is different is that it's not similar to that of a romance/comedy which will usually use bright or pastel colours. Also, these genre's tend to use more artistic or imaginative fonts. Thrillers however, often have a bold slanted font that is simple. This could mean that the film has something dark behind it, mystery and suspense, and cannot be interpreted as "happy". The use of red in the title is also a connotation of danger and is most commonly associated with blood and death. This co-insides with the use of the black background, which could imply death, sadness or misery.

This dvd cover uses a fairly simple font that is the colour red. As stated before, red could imply danger, blood or possibly even love but most likely not in this situation. The word "window" is in bold and stands out in comparison to the first word "secret". This makes the audience think about the window more than the secret and it puts emphasis on this certain part of the title. Also, the last for letters in 'window' are slightly distorted. This looks almost like its moving when you look at it for to long, which is slightly disturbing and uncomfortable, which is possibly what the person who created this title wanted it to do.

This is the title of 'Final Destination 3' at the beginning of the film. What strikes me is the 3, which has a font used that is usually seen in circus's. The words 'final destination' however, contrast with this because the font used is big, black, bold and looks rather daunting. The fact that all of the letters are in capitals is almost overpowering, and it creates a kind of image for the audience. The use of the colour black is important because again, it is conventional for this genre.

 Similarly, this title is also written in black, and uses a simple font that doesn't give anything away to an audience. It is suspenceful and whilst the audience may know from watching previous films what to expect from a film using this type of font, there is still an element of mystery included as there is no blood dripping off the title like you might find in horrors.
