Font Styles



After a lot of research and testing with other fonts like 'Thonburi', after a while we found a website which consisted of many horror and thriller fonts, the website was called 'Dafont'. We had a little bit of a problem with defining which was thriller and which was more horror fonts, in the end we tried to go with other conventions of thrillers and picked the font named 'I Still Know'. We agreed with this font as it looked like a good thriller and fitted with conventions of other thrillers like 'Sorority Row', where it is a modern thriller film yet they have used serif traditional fonts like the image below






The other fonts which include names and job descriptions like 'Executive Producer Dale Russell' we originally put as 'Thonburi' to match the original title that we used just to keep the consistency of the serif thriller font. However from the class feedback we felt as if it was pretty bad, it looked like simple amateur and honestly looking back the font looks pretty naff and does not match with the theme. Instead we went for a much more bolder font which is visible but doesn't draw the audience's attention from the titles. Secondly, it stays in consistence with the title of the thriller 'One LAst Call'
Here is the image below of the same shot with the new font
