Looking at some short films this is what i have seen for the fonts.

 The fly 

This has the most simple font with the header being the same font only smaller. This has a very simple look which suits the film because the plot of the film is very simple but effective. The film also being 4 minutes long adds to the more simple effect.

Prosopagnosia

This short film has two types of font. The header complements the other font. They both help gives off

a more sophisticated but cold connotation which fits in very well with the films crime thriller genre.

 The black hole

This film has a more cartoony feel to it. This font is also simple but the connotation gives a more

comedy feel to it which again suits the genre.

Get off my land

This has a very small font that suits the simplicity of this short film. The film ends without any drama or

big fight scenes despite the built up of tension during the film so this font which displays after the last scene helps to continue this.

All of these fonts use a simple white font with a style that has connotations to fit with the style of film, however, these are very subtle. 

Looking at the short film The Fly this is what I have seen that is effective and would like to include in my own short film:

The Fly:
The short film has a similar setting to my short film. The film looks like it is set in the 80s. This is mainly shown by the costume and other mise en scene. Here you can clearly see three main aspects. This is one of the first scenes that the audience sees so they first impressions of the genre and setting will be made here.

1. The first aspect is the use of costume. Here the character is wearing a leather jacket which was very common during the 80s. The character takes up most of the shot so the costume is clearly shown to the audience and the connotations this gives is very clear to the audience that this character is from the 80s or a similar time. 
2. The second aspect is the car. The car is is both the foreground and the middle ground. This car is used to help put the setting into context. Here an old car is shown but the car looks used but not old. This really helps the audience to make the connections that this short film is set in the 80s as a car that age would look more rundown in this day.
3. The last is slightly more hidden. This scene uses conventions of other 80s films. The background is blurred out as the depth of feild is shallow so the wall behind doesn't stand out but it does add to cthe connotations  

The setting of the film takes place in only one area. This is shown above. Shots of the door with diagetic sounds suggest that the other characters are inside but the inside is not shown. This use of one scene works because three areas are shown as individual areas. This is the car, inside the building and the surrounding area. All are used in different places during the short film but only this area is used for the whole 6 minutes. 

The camera shots and movements are varied these include an extreme close up, a crane shot, and a panning shot. The variety of shots help to keep the viewer interested as each shot is in the same setting so having a different angle or movement stops each shot from being repetitive. This is important because most of my film will take place in one room and has heavy dialogue. 

When creating my own film I will be using these ideas as these are effective and use similar concepts to my own film. 

Here are the fonts that we are looking at. These four all look slightly similar and have similar connotations and we like that they have a vague creepy look. This is good as the fonts match the traditional three bears story.

When looking at these fonts we feel that they look like they portray the character of Goldilocks as they are handwritten and have that fairytale look but they gauge creepiness coming from our psychopathic killer.
