- American Pyscho
- In the opening credits for American Pyscho, the font is very simplistic and plain, all in capital letters with large kerning between each letter. The surname of the people are also in bold, which is very simple but an effective way of making people notice the credits when they may usually be ignored.
- Breaking Bad
- The credits in Breaking Bad are usually overlayed on top of the action. The teact once again is very simple, with normal kerning and all in bold. However one of the show's main foci is chemistry and chemical symbols in the persons name are usually made bolder and in green font to make them stand out. For example Thomas Schnuaz has 'Sc' in green the chemical symbol for Scandium.
- Dexter
- Dexter is written in a very tall, slender red font which bears both strong conotations with blood but also with lust and love, again showing both sides of the killer's life. I think we will use a red font for some of ours in the high-key lighting parts, however I worry it will not show up under the low-key lighting meaning we may have to use a white font to make it stand out on that background. After a few minutes research, I have discovered a very similar font called 'Bebas' that would be good to use for our project as it is very simple and plain, both of us think that if we choose a too complicated font it may be hard to read considering it will be overlayed ontop of the action. A sample for the font is seen below.
