CONSTRUCTION: DECIDING ON THE TITLE

Today me and Connie decided to look at fonts for the title Hush Little Baby. We wanted something different to the fonts that we used when doing the titles throughout the opening. At first we were looking for something quite simple like the font shown bellow. It is easy to read and looks good. At first the text was in the middle of the screen however we felt that it looked better and stood out more at the bottom of the screen. 

The first text is called Tekton Pro. We decided not to use this one as we wanted something more exciting than this. 
As a group we then discussed that maybe the font should look a certain way. We decided that we would do a font that looks child like as this is a main theme of our film. This font is called Chalkboard. We did like this one however after continuing to search we found one which looked a lot more interesting. 
We have chosen to use this font, Chalkduster. This is because it still looks as though it has been written by a child, however it looks a lot more unusual than the previous font and therefore suggests a twisted story. I think this font works well with our thriller as it suggests the idea that the kidnap child has written it.
