The fonts/styles for the production credits

Using the website 'DaFont - http://www.dafont.com/' me and my partner selected some typography styles for our films production credit - see shot 6 on shooting script. Each style was selected carefully on the basis that it was simple but held connotation in relation to what the production company "Milk Films" represents - which holds the same ethos of Film 4.

Below are the range of typographys me and my partner picked out.

After a lot of discussion me and my partner came to a mutual agreement and chose the typography which is shown below on the left. We selected this as it was simple an white connoted the colour of milk. Moreover, we loved the boxes that surrounded each letter as it connoted how the production company is playful since it looks like it was quickly written down as well as it connoting how this company is fresh/new/modern. So on the right is our finished production credit.

Collectively the other productions credits (shots 1,2,3,4,5 & 7) we decided to use the typography we used for the rest of te credits. This decision was influenced after we watched the opening sequence to the British social realist film ' submarine', because they used the same typography with all the production credits except for the main ones such as the Film 4 logo. Below are the production credits of submarine.

The image below is the production credits we constructed after gaining inspiration.

As you can see we have made sure our graphics were minimilistic and not grand like Hollywood production credits. We believe we captured the true essence of the British social realism genre through the use of these typographys, as they hold so much connotation an anchor down what our film MAZE is all about. We stuck with the colours of black and white as it seemed raw and the contrast of colours represent Leah's situation - the white portrays hope, while the black portrays confinement, therefore highlighting how Leah is keeping faith and trying to escape but is restricted from doing so as her abusive boyfriend controls her life.
