Fonts

Fonts are a great method to sort of give the viewer some clear indication of what the film is based around or is it humorous or documentary based etc. The following two fonts are the ones we have learnt in lesson they are:



Serif fonts- These are more traditional fonts and also more formal, the fonts used with this type are TIMES & COURIER.


"Serif is the extra detail at the end of the letter for example if you look closely to the letter 'R' you notice it has extra detail at the end of it"


Sans Serif fonts- They are completely different to Serif they are informal and more modern and they come to audience as being more 'friendly' an example o this font is ARIAL and COMIC SANS

Two examples which we viewed in class are:


Pearl Harbour- What does the font PALATINO connote?:

• It is very formal



• Patriotic



• They stand up like Soldiers at war



• Serious font resembling a war situation



• Masculine- Tall Bold capitals

ROCKY- FRANKLIN GOTHIC HEAVY is the font used why is it used?:

• The font is very manly


• Could suggest it being a strong this is because it is a boxing film


• its a San serif


• very big impact like big punch


• Unintelligent- simply in your face this could once again reflect the sport boxing because you have an opponent up in your face for 12 rounds


• Capital letters- Dominant strong & Tall
