Font choices

Here are the four fonts that I am considering using for my film poster and magazine;

For my main texts I am planning on using one or two of these fonts because I want the poster to stand out to the audience by using a bold, sans serif font because this will make the name of the film be clear and obvious to the audience. I've decided to use a font that has an eroded them attatched to it because this connotes a sense of violence, drama and action which are 3 elements I want to include in my film trailer.
After looking at numerous styles of fonts I have narrowed it down to these four styles because I think they best convey my genre. Research in the build up to this has enabled me to identify which fonts are unsuitable for my genre by looking at the font styles that other genres of films such as comedies use in comparison to the types of font that other films from the same genre as mine such as 'Kidulthood' use;

A similar, bold sans serif font is used by this film, this is because it is suitable for the genre and connotes the general themes of the film. I have looked at the font choices of other similar films and used them to influence my font choice.

Props and costume

I am not planning on using a large amount of props for my film trailer because they are not particularly necessary for my genre.
Below are some notable props/costume

1.Bloodstained t-shirt

However, I am using this blood stained t-shirt to connote the sense of danger and violence which are to themes I want to be able to convey in my film trailer.

2.Distinctive 'parka' coat

This is the type of coat that the key protagonist will be wearing in the majority of the scenes to portray his character and to enable him to be easily recognised, I think its a suitable costume choice for the character's personality and emphasises themes such as 'cold' and 'loneliness'.

Key learning points

-Helped me think about use of props and costume

-Considered how they could be used in my trailer
