FINAL DECISION: 'LOSING HOPE HARDY'

Font ideas: We got our font ideas from 'Dafont'.

This font is in our top 3 favourites because of the damaged effect which could connote the psychological and physical damage that our character faces. However, the word hope is left unbroken, which shows that the character has not yet lost all hope and has a chance of surviving the ordeal.

This was another of our top 3 fonts, because its simplicity could connote  the focused and determined mindset of our main character, as well as showing how her life in captivity has been constant, plain and unchanging for the past 12 years.

This was our third favourite font, because we thought that although it is simply, some of the letters have parts missing, which represents the ellipses in our plot, as well as connoting the losses our character has suffered and how she has been damaged.

This was a variation of the font above which we liked, however, we decided against it because we thought it looked too robotic- perhaps suited to a sci-fi film instead of a thriller. We felt that this took away the emotional impact of our film.

Although we thought the fragility of this font was effective, we thought that it was too quaint and lighthearted to suit the thriller genre of our film. It reminded us too much of a children's story or fairytale book, and this wasn't a connotation we wished to present in our film. 

We liked this font, as we thought that fade added mystery and enigma, which reflects the theme and content of our film. However, the text wasn't very clear as the fade at the bottom made the letter 'E' look like an 'F', which could cause confusion among our audience.

Again, the simplicity of this font was a positive, as well as the line above the text connoting a force pushing down, representing how trapped our character is in the film. However, we thought this font looked too dramatic, and would be more suited to a Disney film or something more old fashioned.

This was one of the first fonts we were drawn to, because of its simplicity and frailty. However, we recognised this font from various other products/media texts, and we wanted to create a unique brand when marketing our film.

Final decision: WE thought that the top two fonts were most effective and suitable for our film and we couldn't decide which one to use, so we asked the opinion of four unbiased peers and this is what we found:

Font 1

Font 2

We asked our peers for their opinions on our final fonts, these were the results we found:

From our peer evaluation of the fonts we found that Font 2 was the most popular , this is called 'Twofold Uncomplete Design' from Dafont.
