Types of Font- Extention task

As we will be designing our title sequence we will need to think about what type of font is suitable for our trailer. As a extention task I am going to list the different types of fonts that are available to use.

Serif- examples of sans serif fonts would be Times and Courier. To identify a serif font simply look for small strokes at the end of each word.

Serif fonts are most commonly used on more formal title sequences. Traditionally, serif fonts have been used on newspapers, formal newspapers in particular for example the Times newpaper.

Sans serif- examples of sans serif would be Ariel and Comic sans. In comparision to serif, sans serir fonts tend to be more informal in the shape and form that they take. Unlike serif fonts, sans serif doesnt have the small strokes on the end of each letter. In doing this, the word appears to be more informal. The 'SUN' newspaper uses a sans serif font as the newspaper it self in my opinion contains stories of an informal nature e.g page three girls and sports.

In the lesson today we breifly analysed typograghy/fonts on two film covers, ive decided to pick Pearl harbour as the cover i will analysis breifly.

Why is the serif font used on this particular movie cover?

* fomal therefore reflecting the seriousnesss of the film as it is about the world war 2.

*The letters are all capitals, represting the masculinity of the soliders.

*Letters also standing straight(not italic) also representing the stern attitudes of the soliders.
