Titles and Fonts

Sweeney Todd Example Font

As you can see from this title, the 'Sweeney Todd' part of the title has purposely been made the colour red, to resemble blood. This has been done in representation that somehow Sweeney will be associated with blood and the colour red quite frequently throughout the movie. As you an see the letters a readable, The font which has been chosen gives a rather gothic feel which help the audience since the time period of the film was set in old-time London. The font used is a Serif which helps add the more gothic feel to the picture.

We can also see from this image later on that the same type of font has been used and that this time it's all white instead of featuring the colour red. The hue was only used to symbolize the fact that Sweeney Todd would have something to do with the colour red, meaning blood.

I found this font on Dafont which resembles the earlier text which is presented within the film. The text which i found is called Optimus Princeps and it seems to match the font in the actual film. 

Se7en Example Font

With the title of 'Seven' or 'Se7en' as written in the opening titles and on the logo, the purpose of making the title say se7en is to link to the meaning behind the actual story line, and hint to the audience on what will happen during the actual film. During the title the effect put on the lettering has purposely made it slightly hard to read than what you may see in the Sweeney Todd title, and this effect could be linked to the fact that the plot line will be harder to understand.

There is very little variation what it comes to the title and the rest of the text shown throughout the rest of the opening but as you can see there is a slight change. The text, as linked to the film looks almost as though it's been written, and this is connected to the opening sequence when the murder / bad guy, is writing in his scrapbook.

I found this on Dafont, this typeface is called Cheeky Rabbit and it looks pretty similar to that was shown in the opening titles of Se7en.

Hostage Example Font

As you can see from the film Hostage, you can see that the typeface is a striking and formal font, it shows the name of the film and the actors in it clearly against the background which it's set. Although this hardly gives any evidence on what the film may be, and although i've never seen the film Hostage, i guess it's linked to some sort of police thriller, this could be connected to the fact that the font looks like the typeface you'd see in a crime drama.

I found this font on DaFont and it's called Hydrant Special, from the comparison on both the font an the actual font in the Hostage opening title.
