Credits and Typography

Jessie and I have researched many different types of font and as seen in 'The Technical Bit- Part One' we have many ideas for the typography of the i-dent for our fake production company. We decided to use a simple font, similar to the one below, called 'American Typewriter' for our credits, because the typewritten effect portrays our characters as having an indie/vintage, as well as the fact that the print looks like it could have been done by Katy herself. Below our final choice, there are some other options that we considered:
    Amelia Walker & Dex Elkington


We thought that this font was good as it looked as if it had been written, which is the effect we wanted to go for, but we felt that it may blend in too much and not be obvious enough to the audience that it is a credit and not just something written in the scrapbook.




We again liked the home-made vibe of this font, but felt that it was too childish for the style that we wanted.

We liked this font, but felt that it was impractical to use as it is not girly enough for the look we want the scrapbook to have.






This font is the most similar to the one we have chosen as our final font.  This font appears more damaged and 'grungy' than the more clean-cut font that we chose. We feel that this would be a more appropriate font for a horror or maybe even 
a war film.
