Font styles

I was limited when selecting my font style as I wanted to select a font that fitted with the opening, genre and music. Whilst editing on the Mac there were only a small list of fonts that I was able to use in the opening. I wanted to do with a font that looked handwritten as a lot of successful thriller films have this convention as it makes them look creepier than a font that looks typed. I would have liked to use an alternative font style such as Mistrel, Matura or Rage Italic however these fonts weren’t available on the desktop that I was using so therefore had go with a different font called Chalkduster, which look like the font in the image. This font wasn’t ideal and is in some places fairly difficult to read however I didn’t have many other choices apart from having a font that looked typed, therefore I preferred to have a font that was slightly harder to read, but did look a lot better.
