Film poster- Fonts

I wanted to experiment with the font of my film title as I want it to be interesting and catch the audiences attention. Therefore I used the website 'Pic Monkey' to see what fonts they had to choose from. Below are my top 12 favourite fonts.
  Number 1 (Eraser Dust)is nice because it looks like someone has sketched it and this will suit my film because my main character likes to draw and loves art. 
 Number 2 (mossy)is a good font because it s simple but looks effective, this would be nice to use for the smaller font on my film poster as it's easy to read.
 Number 3 (budmo jiggler)looks like it has spotlights in it and I like the look of this but I don't think it matches my film very well.
Number 4 (lobster two) is a girly style of font which could suit my film but isn't so easy to read.
 Number 5 (amatic small caps) is similar to number 2 as it is similar but easy to read.
Number 6 (rye) is an interesting font but I don't like it enough for a film title.
Number 7 (bangers) is a very bold font and would suit a comedy as it is a loud and big font. 
Number 8 (shadows into light) is a nice font in lower case but I don't like it in upper case. I want my title in upper case.
Number 9 (Quentin caps) is a very fancy font and would suit a cowboy/western film but not my genre of film.
Number 10 (play fair display) is another simple font and goes well with numbers 2 and 5.
Number 11 (leaning curve) looks like someone's handwriting, but doesn't read very well in upper case so I wouldn't use it as my main font.
Number 12 (smash) is similar to number 7 in it is very bold and are very big which wouldn't suit my genre of film.
 
After this experimentation of fonts I have 5 possible fonts I would like to se on my film poster. I like number 1,2,5,10 and 11.

  1. This is good research and decision-making Katy. Do film posters have a variety a fonts? Maybe that will give an opportunity to combine your two favourites. Even if it's elsewhere on your blog, you could create a post that shows existing posters and your drafts experimenting with the fonts next to each other.
