For the above experiment the font Blue Highway D Type for the title 'Hangman'. This font was chosen for the title because it is very plain, sharp and therefore shows our genre of horror.
For the blue, smaller titles the font Bodoni MT was chosen. As this is only an experiment, it
became clear that using this wouldn't be affective because the '2013' date it too rounded, therefore making the film look too friendly. Though the blue colouring does give the supernatural genre away to the audience and the main title works well in making an audience notice and remember the films name, we will not be using this as overall it does not look authentic. This is because it does not include features such as credits and institution logos. Though not all film posters use these ideas, this does not work well.
This poster is similar to the above in using the same image and the same font for the Hangman title in the same place. Blue Highway D Type was also used for the credits which are placed on this poster. The opacity for the titles was changed to around 50% as in other film posters the credits are made to be not very obvious so that the focus is not on them. Though the 'Coming Soon 2013' title is in the same size and font as the credits, the opacity is kept at 100% so that the date stands out to the audience. Also a Paramount logo is included, as this is our chosen institution. Photoshop was used to edit this from black to white, as white fits in with the blue font better, as black would be too distracting away from other elements.
This poster is the same as the above, but instead a low opacity image of rope is added to the hangman title. This ensures the title looks more interesting, but also it subtly gives away the plot line.
