Fonts...

    March is almost here and we haven't started editing yet. To make this worse, our second filming day has been pushed back by about three days because of a million little last-minute contradictions between schedules of the five people involved in this. This has honestly opened my eyes and realize I either did a horrible job casting responsible people, or I did something wrong. Whether it's one or the other or both, I am seriously contemplating working in production again. I'm sticking to painting pictures by myself.

If I'm going to be honest, I don't know if I'll reach a final decision on the title font here.

Anyway, I found this handy-dandy website called

 https://www.fontshare.com/

with a vast catalog of free fonts to choose from, even including a multitude of filters. Now knowing the difference between sans, serif, slab, display, handwritten, and script is another thing. 

    I originally wanted a sans font to make the tone more modern, assuming this movie takes place in modern times as the main characters are inspired by older rock-stars. Additionally, a contemporary font would make the band want to seem more professional, therefore having bigger chances at success (who's going to tell them it doesn't work that way.) I was also open to doing a chicken scratch-type font to make the title seem more handmade. I could also mix these two elements, however I doubt that would be very appealing.

    What I know for sure is that the title card will fill the entire frame, therefore the font must have a small width, or if handwriting, able to be condensed. Worst comes to worst, I make my own font, but right now, I'm too tired and not desperate enough to do that.

The first font that caught my eye was the Comico font

    My first thought was, "That looks like sharpie," but then I realized "That looks like sharpie!" As if the band wrote on the camera lens itself the title of the movie. It's a good example of the homemade garage band style.

Second option is called "New Title"

    I like this one because it is already condensed, and the simple, cookie cutter look of it. As if the person who chose it put little effort into the decision (fortunately I am putting effort.)

Similar to the last one, there's "Anton"

    A common theme I see in my decisions are that the fonts are very thick, and I believe that the final font should be. If the font is taking up the entire frame, might as well make it yell at you even more with its boldness.

Final sans font I liked was "Oswald"

    This is just a mix between the first and second. I have actually used this font before when designing a logo for fun. My only complaint with this font is the spacing between the letters, in which there is too much. I want it to feel like a crowded elevator of words and letters. 

My favorite is currently "New Title," although I'm going to ask for feedback from my film partner.

Now for credit fonts!!

I was not drawn to "Oswald" as the big-fat-attention-grabbing-title, nonetheless, it would be a good choice for naming the jobs for director, writer, production designer, etc. The names however, will have a different font.

"Comico" is a good font choice for the names. Because it looks like sharpie, it appears as though the jobs were listed formally, while names were written on top as an afterthought by either the person or another party.
