Further Font Research

As of now we have a solid story line and title (Nostalgia) to work with, I decided to do further research into font styles for our credit sequence:


The fonts name is 'Plane Crash' and personally I feel that it conveys incompleteness due to the eroded letters. Therefore this reflects the Detectives eroded life since the loss of his daughter, Alice, he is no longer whole and the font reflects that.

A different approach to the title. This conveys a handwritten style, as if possibly Alice wrote it before she died. It also implies vulnerability and innocence, as it looks as though someone young wrote 'nostalgia'.


Like the previous font, this has a innocent aura around it as if it too were written by a young girl. The circle above the I also has the implication of youth, especially a female touch.

This font is named 'angry chalk' and to me, that suits our film rather well. The font looks as if it had been written desperately and hastily therefore it could be mirroring Alice's desperation and last act before she was killed. It also has a rather unnerving and uncomfortable tone to it.

Credit sequence ideas

Credits have a major role in our thriller opening as they will be the first images/ words the audience will see. Therefore choosing the credits which carry certain connotations or set the mood will be extremely beneficial in creating that tension which we need. Below are some ideas which I think could help set the mood:

Distant relationship productions - I thought of the relationship between the detective and the daughter, which was very close while she was alive (which will be shown in the flashbacks) but as she is now deceased there is distant in their relationship. Therefore before the film as even begun the audience will be given certain hints on what could possible happen, such as a 'distant relationship'.

Reminiscent films - If this company name were to follow 'distant relationship productions' it would further give hints to the characters in the film or plot line. 'Reminiscent' or reminiscence is also a synonym of flashback which is what the detective suffers from in the opening of our thriller.
