Graphics

The graphics of our film are very important since they will reflect the tone for the whole film, as the font will be seen on all the adverts persuading people to see the film in addition to the opening sequence. Therefore it must be able to inform people what the film is like.

We are planning to use the font ‘3 theHard way RMX’ since this is a powerful font and therefore suits the title of the film, ‘Retribution’. The main title will appear at the beginning of the film in white writing on a black background, filling the whole screen. This is frequently used in popular, award-winning films.

The film will open with eye dents of the production companies. These will then be followed by the directors’ names, also in white writing on a black screen, although these will appear in a simple font such as ‘Arial’ since it is more legible than ‘3 theHard way RMX’. The title will then follow this.

After the title appears, it will fade to an establishing shot of the kitchen where we will see the dad. Throughout the opening shots the actors’ names will fade across the screen. These will also be in an ‘Arial’ font since it is quite subtle and would therefore prevent the audience’s attention being drawn away from the events taking place within the scene. In addition, the font will be quite small and positioned in the corners of the screen on a contrasting surface in order to also keep the actors the main focus in the scene.
