Titles


Seven is the title of a thriller film. It has texture to make it look worn and faded. Kerning has been used to make the gap between E and 7 larger. This is so that it looks broken and untidy. The V has been replaced with 7 and the positioning of the title creates negative space.


I think that the font 'Telegraphem' is close to the font that is used for Seven. They both are typewriter style fonts that have texture.


This thriller is called The Final Destination. Leading has been used to make the 'The' and 'Final Destination' closer together. Tracking has been used to make the letters of 'The' further apart to make the title seem epic. The size of 'The' is smaller than 'Final Destination' so that the audience's attention is drawn to 'Final Destination'. The font of the words 'Final Destination' is serif and this creates a serious feel to the film.

I think that the font 'Timeless' matches the title well. They are both quite plain and serif.



The film Manhunt has a textured, sans-serif font for the title. The colour of the dark red works well against the faded white. It makes the title bold and eye-catching. The letters have had kerning used on them to create space between them, getting further away as the word comes to an end. The letters being spaced out hint at the storyline, possibly a chase or loss is involved in the plot. 

The font 'Bebas Neue' closely matches the Manhunt title font. The only thing that does not match the Manhunt font is that it is not textured. 


Irreversible's font is plain, sans-serif but many of the letters have been flipped. This makes the title hard to read and makes the audience confused because it is unusual. The colour is buff but flashes red. This creates shock. The tracking of the letters makes them very close together and the title is placed in the centre of the screen. 

 This font is very similar to the previous font. It's sans-serif and has the same thickness to the letters. If the letters were flipped, the resemblance would be greater.


Hostage has a sans-serif, textured, red title font. It has a slight 3D effect and two lines that frame the text. It stands out against the brown and black background to create a sense of depth within the shot. The title is, again, in the centre of the screen. This draws the audiences attention straight to the title. 

Most of the letters in this font are closely matched to the letters in Hostage. The texture and the lines above and below are not present in the typeface 'Ash'.

  1. I think the hostage one is the best because it is a nice rounded font.
