TYPOGRAPHY RESEARCH 

 

We used the website DaFont to download the perfect font that we wanted we all chose certain fonts as a group and came to a conclusion that we wanted a font that have a sophisticated feel as well as a stand out violent approach to it with a bit of class which our films all about. A good example of what we was looking for was the Goodfellas font which is shown below. 

 

As a group we then came to the conclusion that it would be one of the following fonts: 

We went for the second font simply due to the fact that we believed that the first one was to thin and didnt have that stand out approach. the second one was very bold and stood out which was needed. It also gave of the impression as if it where on newspaper and very much a city like feel, which was crucial for our film.

StoryBoarding

We used storyboards to know exactly what to do when we was shooting our title sequence. It helped us to plan out the precise camera angles and movements so that when it came to the making of the scene we could start straight away without the any problems of discussing what type of shot we wanted on the day. This storyboard also includes the specific sound used in that shot. This helped us get a vision in our head of what the sequence would look like. Our storyboard also had the specific time length of how long our shot should last for which was extremley helpful when it came down to shooting. This all however could be changed and modified to help fit in when editing it is only used as a rough guideline.

Inherited Empire Props

This is the process we went through to create the fake money to be able to burn in our title sequence:

First we printed of a picture of the money in the same dimensions as a 50 pound note. We then got a tray full of water and put tea bags into the tray and then left to dry. whilst it was drying of we attempted to cut out paper of the same size to create the stack. We had problems doing this as it is not so easy  to cut it the same size so there's some minor adjustments we need to make. However, the process went very well and we now have to repeat this process another 10 times.
