Font choice

Now that I'm in the process of editing all of Joseph’s scenes, I’ve shifted my focus to something just as important but often overlooked, fonts. Since my main character's life is put together and famous, I wanted fonts that reflected that. Something elegant and fitting for the kind of status he has and the story I was tying to tell. I was stuck between four or so fonts, each bringing a different vibe. Some looked too plain, some felt too dramatic, and others just didn’t match the aesthetic I was going for. So, I did what any indecisive person would do, I edited them into my film one by one to see them in action. It took some trial and error, but I finally found the one. It fit perfectly with what I envisioned and just looked right.

But of course, I needed contrast. I started by browsing in many different font websites such as Adobe.com/fonts and Fontspace.com I decided to use this when dealing with other credits needed, such as, casting and such. The story has a darker turn, so I chose another font to highlight that shift, something that felt heavier, more unsettling. The two together work exactly how I wanted, giving that visual storytelling element without needing words. 

With that done, the first part of my film is officially complete! Now, onto filming the second part, which I’m aiming to do either Thursday or over the weekend. It’s coming together, and I can already see the full vision playing out. Almost there!
