Fonts

This font is very uniformed and precise, creating connotations that the 'gang' in our thriller opening all believe in the same cause, also the production name is rather long- which suggests that the 'gang' have large numbers/ dangerous group. It can also create connotations of an intimidating nature, with the danger being shown in the straight, to the point, lines.

This font offers a different style to the previous, as it contrasts in its appearance. It isn't consistent, in a way that the lines for each letter look different to the letter before, creating connotations that the 'gang' come from differing/rough backgrounds. Another way in which this idea is shown, is that the fonts lines look like they have been etched into a surface- like graffiti almost: further representations of rough street lifestyles.

This font represents our thriller opening best in my opinion. It's gives connotations of street warfare with the rugged exterior looking like its been drawn/spray-painted on a wall. The backwards 'E' represents the backwards ideology and intelligence of the group of people being exploited by our thriller opening.

Other Thrillers
These are the fonts used in three other 'British gangster' movies that we have taken inspiration from. To start with, 'Essex Boys' offers quite a simple font but has a unique twist with the cut through the middle of the words- this could be a metaphor for the divide in society (especially in Essex) from the weak to the powerful. This font contrasts when compared to 'Layer Cake' which quite blatantly tries to reproduce a car registration plate, this works well as it intertwines with the movie. It does this as cars are used to focus on to resemble  change in time- foreshadowing a change in time/setting and society. Finally, 'Lock, Stock' offers a simple block capital font , in a disorganised formation- this is a potent metaphor for the group of people the movie follows, who are disorganised- ordinary people: but have got themselves in a lot of danger.

Overall, these fonts have a clear metaphor for the movie they are representing- which will have to be taken into consideration when choosing my thriller font- to give the choice deeper meaning.
