Consideration of Fonts with Titling

We wanted a font to fit with our rural comedy theme, so something a bit different (not standard) but not too over-the-top, and after making a shortlist on the Mac, decided upon 'Cracked'. (Now known as 'crackhouse')  This font looks quite edgy and is interesting to look at.

 
We chose this font over others such as Arial and Impact because we thought it was more interesting to look at and fitted more with making the film look independent. At the same time, the font is not too complicated looking and can still be easily read- it is also not too distracting from the main content of the film as the titles will be placed to one side.

Although, the disadvantage of possibly using Crackhouse is that its is a sharp/edgy font that would be associated more with Horror films. As a group, we thought a more rounded font would be more suitable for a comedy film as it is plain and simple.
