Font Research

The font for the film 'The Honesman' is Cheltenham Bold Extra Condensed. Saban Films have likely chosen this font for this Drama/Western because it creates a sense of roughness and violence, perhaps connoting the sand and desert location. We personally like this font because it looks classic, with modern details, allowing the presentations to be denoted in a similar way to what we desire.

The font here is Times™ Roman. This choice of font is used in Lucas Film Production in order to provide recognition and unity within this franchise. In my opinion, it works effectively with the title lexical choices, in the way that we can instantly see the key words.

The font used here is Industria™. This font is used for classic crime films, and I think that the size and the tightness appropriately reflects the 'silence' and eerie atmosphere (both being Horror conventions.)

This font used is called Egyptian Bold Condensed, commonly incorporated in a Warner Bros production. This was effective for the Romance/Drama genre. The white colour signifies the wind and it effectively juxtaposes the flame colours.

This font was used by United Artists in 1988. Caslon 540 Roman is suitable for a Drama with a melodramatic style. This font is effective because it is synchronised and neat, perhaps suiting a straightforward idea. Also, the white colour adds to the simplicity.

Differences and similarities between a theatrical trailer and a teaser trailer.

A Theatrical and a Teaser trailer share similarities and difference, since being released at different times of the production cycle and due to the separate objectives and reasons behind them. I have completed this research because the teaser trailers offers an insight to our production in the early stages as well as enabling us to get feedback and a hype, both from the potential target audience. Additionally, it will develop our practical skills because of the different requirements to successful make a Teaser in comparison to the full length Theatrical trailer.

Textual Analysis of Student Work (William Guy)

Will has completed this analysis of another students work as part of the research for our own production

I enjoyed watching this trailer and I am keen to use some of the elements for our production. In particular I would like to make use of darkness in a similar way to how I discussed on slide 5 of the analysis because this I feel this is very effective and it also an important convention of Film Noir. However, I would avoid the psychological problem/possession theme because this is not very conventional of film noir and although we are planning on using some horror elements, our main genre is still film noir.

Blackhat, Ancillary Website Analysis (William Guy)

Will has conducted this textual analysis of the website for the neo-noir film "Blackhat". Although he had been analysing material from the film "Se7en" it either did not have a website or the website no longer exists, so he has chosen a different (but still relevant) film for this analysis
