For our titles throughout the film, we used quite a traditional font to contrast the main title. We didn't want all the fonts to be the same as we felt it would be too much and not easy to read. We also didn't want to distract from the actual film or for it to be too over-the-top - we wanted it to look clean and neat. We added a smear effect to the end of the fonts to make it look scarier and look like it was being dragged down the screen. Fading the titles in also made it look smooth and flowed better. Effects on the titles are conventional of horror films as they add effect and hint to the overall genre; a smear effect is particularly common as it creates an eerie feeling and possibly foreshadows some kind of death or torture in the film.
We made the font white as we felt this looked better with the locations and that black would stand out too much and take away from the film. The white made them look subtle and neat within the scenes. They are in capitals to make sure they stand out and look professional. Capitals for fonts are conventional of horror films as it is bold, intense and are easy to read.
