Font and Colour Research for our Title Sequence

From our research, we have found that the most common used fonts for thriller are blotted, faded and sometimes quite basic. We think that this is because the way it is presented is stereotypical to the thriller genre and automatically indicates to the reader that it is a thriller. 

FONTS...
The more basic styles are used to create an effect more than anything and to contrast the simplicity of the title to the sophisticated thriller genre. For example...
BirthOfAHero
Pirulen

The blotted and faded effects add more of a mysterious element to the title, making it clear to the audience that the genre is thriller. The effectiveness of these elements is that they are visually engaging to the reader, grabbing their attention straight away. The blotting effect, we think most likely is their to represent blood and the faded effects are there to add mystery to the title. For example...
Berserker
YouMurderer
Ithornet



COLOURS...
The colours that we found that are most commonly used in thrillers seem to be quite dull and dark colours. These also help to portray the thriller genre
