Analysis of Fonts (extension task)

Fonts that are used for a certain film can literally be the make or break of the title sequence for many reasons. For example, if you are trying to create a tense moment and the titles are in the style of a disney film, then the effect you wanted to create would be lost. There are two main categories for fonts. There is Serif fonts and they are more traditional and more formal. An example of this is Times new roman and Courier. Then there is the Sans Serif fonts that are more modern and informal, examples being Ariel and Comic Sans. In this post I will analyse and explain a few fonts that work well with films and also show the one that I am most fond of at the present time.
For the Film 'Pearl Harbor' a font named 'Palatino' is used and it ties right in with the film and the period of time it represents. The font shows the traditional, old fashioned way things are in the historical film and it holds the idea of patriotism. The font is also very masculine as the font stands up straight like a soldie would. This is a serious font for a war topic.
The font for the film 'Rocky' is Franklin Gothic Heavy and this suggests that the film or the character Rocky is 'hard' and masculine. The font is strong and bold and it looks very heavy which could relate to the fact that Rocky is a boxer. The font also has a big impact like a punch. It is simply in your face with the capital letters and it portrays dominance.
The font I really like though is the font of the film 'Seven' because it makes the title sequence look very creepy and it sets the tone for the rest of the movie and what it may intail. It gives the audience the possible feeling that the film will be kind of psychopathic and creepy. The way the font looks like it has been scratched by a person add to the feeling.
