Fonts for our Title sequence

After deciding on a title most suitable for our short film, we searched the web for a quirky, retro font that relates to the unique brand platform of the Polaroid whilst also considering the ghostly subject of the film.

To receive a more direct response, we searched 'vintage fonts' for the Polaroid effect and were happy with the first option of http://www.fontspace.com/category/vintage

We initially wanted to avoid serif's in the fonts as I feel it indicates traditional values of whatever it is advertising, and by focusing on fonts with San Serifs give the title a younger quality that relates to our actors.







These are the best fonts we encountered on the website. A few do include serif's but are subtle and actually I think they are the best fonts we have received for a final title. 

 

We now feel the top two results aren't very suitable for representing our film as i personally feel they are quite feminine by exaggerating the curls. Furthermore, the 3 dimensionally effected fonts seem quite childish and look as if they would be featured in a cartoon or sketch. 

Overall, we have decided we really like the last font that we made examples of using a mixture of upper and lower cases. We feel it portrays the ghostly subject of our film by parts of the letters disappearing, alongside a nice typewriter style.

The colour pallet featured in the Polaroid's logo is iconic and would have potential if we were to use one of the colours for our title, but after experimenting we don't feel any of the 9 colours compliment the films emotion. So we have decided we want to re-create our chosen font title in white with a black background that will flow nicely from a scene of the cameras flash that goes to a black screen.
