Methods which could be used to aid our typography:

As a group we decided that we would aim to come up with an original piece of typography for our film and we aimed to try and make this in keeping with the theme of the genre.  We decided that me and Amy would do some research into typography,  Amy would create the one we used and I would research examples of what we could use.

To make our font:

We decided Instead of using the default font's of a computer our group decided we might be interested in having a more individual font and one which is representative of the conventions of our genre but still created on the internet.  I researched sites which  would enable you to use more alternative fonts for free online.  When I was looking I tried to find a font creator which had a wide range of fonts and specifically one’s which had bold, clear easy to read fonts with a slight bit of individualism similarly to the type of fonts we found used on British drama films. Here are some of the best and most helpful ones available at the moment:

There is a website called: http://www.urbanfonts.com/

This website allows use to use the selected font (the one I've chosen as an example is called abuse and you are able to use the font to make any sentence you want).  As our film opening is UN-named so far I've used the example title of 'Little Riot Girl' to show how the font could look if we decided to use it:

This is the font ABUSE:

And this is how our example title would look in this font: 

Another website that has hundreds of fonts and a whole page dedicated to urban is: http://www.dafont.com/

 

Similarly to  the website urbanfont’s it allows you to  browse through a range of fonts and then choose the favoured font and turn it into the sentence or word you want. However this website automatically gives you two variations on the font so you can choose which colour you would prefer the font to be in. It primarily gives you black and a grey version but you can also scroll to the top of the website and select from a range of colours; which I really useful for our group as we are looking to use colours in keeping with the idea of graffiti or the flames of the riots.

Again as with the other website i tested out a few different font's using our example title "Little Riot Girl" and found this to be the best example as it is quite clear and bold so it is easy to read but still has a slightly individual theme to it. 

This is the font NEOU:

And this is an example of how it would look in two different styles if we used it with our sample title:
