Typography

When deciding what type of text to use in our opening, as it's a Film Noir it was essential to use either a black or white font. At first we thought a white font with a black outline would be best as we were planning on using it over the top of the action; after deciding to put the text on a black screen it was apparent that black font with a white outline looked better. When choosing the font of our typography we had to consider the narrative of our opening; certain fonts appear childlike, and would diminish the meaning of the opening. For this reason, we chose to use a fairly plain font, which connoted seriousness and suspense.
