As our film is based in 1888 we found it very hard to find a font which suits the time period we are trying to capture and to try and find a font which we feel as an element of fear. We searched through many different fonts using iMovie, however we felt that there was none that we felt suited our film except from Papyrus. We then decided to download other fonts we may be able to use this website http://www.1001freefonts.com/. Using this website we downloaded a variety of fonts that appealed to us and we thought that would suit our film. Even though we later saw that the fonts looked different such as the S looked like an F and when we viewed the fonts with our films we felt that some of them were too contemporary for our film. Below is the fonts that we researched and our original fonts for our credits:.
The font Papyrus from iMovie is what we was going to use this font originally. However, In our opening we changed the colour is red is symbolise blood and death as our film is in night mode as well we need our font to stand out from the shots. Our initial idea was to have this font as it seemed like a knife could of been seen to have been used, we felt that this did not suit the movie as there was no explanation as to why we wanted this particular font in our opening and it seemed too contemporary, so we decided not to use the font in our final of Ripper.We downloaded the font A Charming Font from the website above, we really liked this f
ont as it is really creepy and scary. I really like that the letters overlap.However, the font is too contemporary and too Gothic as it seems it is more relevant to a vampire or a horror movie instead of a thriller/horror. When we saw the font in our opening it did not seems to suit the film and it did not fit with the emotions and plot.
We liked the font Arrr Matey as it reminded us of the Olden writing in 1888. I really liked that the capital letter is bigger than than the rest of the word and it is placed in the middle. However, it seems like it should be in a pirate film so it does not fit in with the style of our opening.

Originally, we all really liked the font Slammer Tag as it seemed like it could of been carve
d with a knife and it seems very creepy as the letters are overlapped in which I really like the technique of as it seems rushed and reminds me of a murder. When we experimented with the font on our opening we felt it did suit the context but the 'E' seems too modern, so we then decided not to use this font. 
The font Deportees I found very scary and it reminds me of horror movie credits. The font seems like it as been craved which we all found very interesting and we agreed that it may look good with our film. However, when we used the credits we felt that it was too contemporary and as our opening is of a women walking and Jack the Ripper stalking her, the font seemed to scary for an opening which is trying to dramatise and build tension.
The font Nerd Proof reminds me of the credits 
from Saw and the font reminds me of the credits from Horror movies as it seems intimidating and creepy. I do not think that this font suits our film as it seems too scary and it suits more of horror movies like Saw and Blair Witch Project and it seems too contemporary. 
The font Rap Jack is very similar to Slammer Tag only bolder which is why I think it caught our attention. The font seems like it has been carved which reminds me of murder. However, it seems too contemporary and childlike, so we decided not to use the font in our opening of our two minute film.I really like the font Pillar Opaque as it seems very Olden and it seems like it has been 
written in fountain pen. Originally in our credits we wanted to make blood droplets in the background of the title or to make the title seem that it was written in blood, we felt that this font seemed like there was blood around the title. We then thought that the writing seemed too olden for the film, when we added the font to the opening we really liked the effect as when Jack the Ripper turns his head the shadow of the title was still there. But sadly it did not fit in with the historical context of the film so we decided not to make the font the title.

Finally, we found a font that we all agreed suited our film and we all thought it looked good with our opening as it suited the social historical context of our film. We also thought that this font suited Jack the Ripper hand-writing which is shown on the right which is a letter from Jack the Ripper to the head of police. This is the font that we have decided to use in the opening but we will change the colouring to red so it will stand out in the opening.
