Titles & Fonts

Deadwood (2004-2006)

Although this TV series doesn't relate to the genre I am focusing on, I really like the 'typewriter' style font that they have used for the titles shown in the opening. I think that it could work really well for my own film opening as it looks simple and is easily readable but adds a bit of character to the opening as it isn't just any old font that you'd use everyday. Also, I have noticed that by choosing the colour white, it fits against pretty much any background which is useful as you know the audience will always be able to see it. I also like how the main title text is bigger and different to the smaller titles text. This makes it stand out and look more important and it's central position on the screen makes it the focal point. On the other hand, the previous titles are scattered around in various corners of the screen. This makes them visible to the viewer but also allows the viewers to have a focus on what is going on in the shot, something I should consider in my own film opening as well as all the other points I have mentioned.
