Font research for title sequence
Having the correct font is very key in a title sequence especially in a Gothic horror or plain horror movie as the font helps set the tone for the rest of the movie. 

This font is known as Knife Fight Ballet and was created by Chris Vile. I like this font type as its straight bold like letters looking like they've been cut up is very striking and instantly catches the audiences eye and the fact the font looks like it has been cut up helps set up the story for something that'll occur in most horror films such as people being killed by a weapon such as a knife which helps it convey horror conventions. 

This font also struck my eye. Its known as Scream and its by imagex. The reason this struck my eye is the paint brush wavy like way the font is designed which is a lot different to the first font I picked out as that one is very bold and striking where this one seems as the writing is wavy and free to move as it pleases which is why it was striking as it looks like it just waves around freely like a supernatural entity would such as a ghost. 

This font is known as The Grim Raiders by Chris Vile. This one was the most out visually striking as I believe its almost a combination of the previous 2 fonts I have viewed as this one not only has the striking end points as the letters points outwards of some letters also with the ragged edges giving it the knife like look. The ragged edges also make me think of the second font as it looks the the text is free to move around.  

Every Gothic Horror has a specific font which you'd associate with that certain film and its not even just Gothic Horror films, for example the film 'JAWS' has its iconic big bold red writing. Font is key as it has to not only match up with the background the font is on top of so its looks visually striking but also has to match the genre the film is as if the font itself is almost out of character it will not help set the tone.
