Typography and Production Company (This was also the script used for the Pitch)

For the fonts, my group has decided to do non-superimposed and to hand write or type the titles onto paper and have them featured in the opening on trees, in puddles, leaves and on the actress's body. This is for the main titles such as director and actor. We thought this would be effective because it will fit with our sub-genres of mystery and psychological, and it will reflect the corrupted mind of the protagonist and reflect the isolated landscape.

For the other titles such as costume designer and make up artist will be hand written and scanned in just like the opening of se7en.

For our main title we will use Broken Detroit as it was voted the best out of our options, We will get this off the website Da Font. We like it because it is very bold so it stands out, it also slight gives off the effect that something is sinister and wrong because it has slight acid wash in the corners of some of the letters.

The influence of this style is from the thriller opening 'Se7en', because we liked the way it was written and superimposed into the opening as handwriting, and the way it jumped in and out of place to represent how the mind of the protagonist is depraved, it also gives off a sense of schizophrenia making it disorientating for the audience to watch.

We have experimented with normal A4 paper to see how our ideas would work, before actually doing them in our opening. We used A4 paper, mud, puddles, grassy areas and a normal black biro to scribble on the paper where the titles would be and then placed them in the grass, puddle and mud and then photographed them so we could see what effect the different conditions where. We think it was successful because it connotes a creepy vibe because of how the paper gets changed in different ways as it is placed in different conditions. It also links with our sub-genres of psychological because the mental aspect of the protagonist is shown by the way the paper changes and the way the natural elements destroy it the way a mental illness can destroy the mind.


We have chosen the production company Universal Studios because we think it will benefit out thriller because it is a well known company which has made some good thriller films in the past such as Jaws, The Purge and Psycho. It was founded in 1912 by Carl Laemmie and is the world's fourth oldest major film studio.
