Fonts
This is a list of the different types of font that I am going to look into, to use in the final production, opening credits. I have
specifically chosen the white colour on the dark, black background as this will be the colour scheme in my final production..
Where’s Joey? - Aharoni
Where’s Joey? - Ariel
Where’s Joey? - Algerian
Where’s Joey? – Ariel Black
Where’s Joey? - Bernard MT Condensed
Where’s Joey? – Blackadder ITC
Where’s Joey? – BatangChe
Where’s Joey? - BlackOak
Where’s Joey? - Castellar
Where’s Joey? – Bradley Hand ITC
Where’s Joey? – Curls MT
Where’s Joey? – Harlow Solid Italics

Fonts
Where’s Joey? - Aharoni Where’s Joey? - Ariel
This font is bold and clearly shows the text. It is
very simple, however its style makes it seem
modern and will therefore not go with the era of
my final production. I am not going to use the
font.
This font is simple and has been around for many, many
years; this leads to the fact it is easily recognisable and was
also used during the era I am setting my final production in.
However, it is commonly used throughout the gangster
genre of films and will not make my film stand out from
others. I will consider this font for wither the main title or
opening credits.
This font is very bold and runs along with the
Algerian culture, hence the name. It is different and
stands out, which will make it good to use as the font
for the main title. It is too bold and different to be
used for the opening credits. However, my film does
not use any theme related to the Algerian culture
and viewers could misinterpret the title and get
confused because of this. I will consider this font as a
main title.
Where’s Joey? – Ariel Black
This font is exactly the same as Ariel but, it is bolder. This
font is too plain to be used as a main title and too bold to
be used as the opening credits, therefore I will not use it
within either titles in my final production.

Fonts
Where’s Joey? - Bernard MT Condensed Where’s Joey? – Blackadder ITC
This font is clear, bold and easy to read. It has a
type writer kind of style, which is perfect to go
with the era of my final production. It is too bold
to be used in the opening credits. I will consider
it to be used as the main title.
This font is quite small and uneasy to read. The style
is handwritten, which does go with the era of final
production, however it seems too posh and slightly
feminine for the genre. Therefore, I will not use this
font for either titles.
Where’s Joey? – BatangChe Where’s Joey? - BlackOak
This font is really simple and clear to
understand. A like to the Bernard font, it has a
type writer style , which is perfect to go with
the era of my final production. However, it has
an error in the punctuation, leaving a huge gap
between the e and the s. It is too different to
be used in the opening titles but, it could be
used in the main title; I will consider this font.
This font is really clear and bold, however it is
stretched which alters the whole image of the font.
Audiences can find this font unappealing and can put
them off. It is also too bold to be used in the opening
credits. I will not use this font in any of my titles.

Fonts
Where’s Joey? - Castellar Where’s Joey? – Bradley Hand ITC
This font is bold and clear. It style is related to
the business man style of gangster genre,
however my final production is more of a
mob sub-genre. I would only consider using
this as a main title but, I am not going to use
this as it doesn’t fit into the themes of my
final production.
This font is small and very thin. It can be hard to
read and understand and would not suit being
used as opening credits. It could be used as a
main title if there was a theme of a letter in the
final production, however there isn’t. It could be
used within the gangster genre of film, but I am
not going to use it in my final production.
Where’s Joey? – Curls MT Where’s Joey? – Harlow Solid Italics
This font is very modern and uses a
handwritten style of font. It does not suit with
the genre for two reasons, it is modern and
doesn’t fit with the time era, and also it is
very feminine. I am not going to use this font
in any of my final production because of
these two reasons.
This font resembles the style of writing used in
neon lights and in the 1950s. However, my final
production is not set in this era and I am not
going to use this font for that reason. It would
have been good to use because it was bold and
clear to read.

Fonts I am Considering
Through my research into different fonts that I could use in my final production, I have narrowed it down to these
choices. I have put them into the two different titles I am going to use and I will look deeper into what the audience
prefer and which ones will be best suited for all aspects in my final production.
Main Title Opening Titles
Where’s Joey? – BatangChe

Text Style
Where’s Joey?
• When using the simple correct capital letters it makes the text
seem more realistic and more of a direct address to the
audience. It can then also be used within the final production
as if a letter or similar. I will consider using this as my main title.
WHERE’S JOEY?
• Using capital letters all the way through makes the title clear
and stand out. It could be used to represent the character
shouting the title. It is a good idea if I were to make the
opening titles massive and extravagant like American gangster
films. I will consider using this as my main title.
Where’s JOEY?
• This title highlights the name 'Joey' and so the audience
straight away think about the character. However, the character
in the end is not a major priority in the film and can lead the
audience to misinterpret it. I will not use this in my main title.
Punctuation Variety
This is a variety of punctuation I can use in
my main title.
Where’s Joey?
• Use of a question mark to highlight the question. It
uses direct address to the audience and grabs their
attention straight away. I will consider using this.
Where’s Joey.
• The use of a full stop instead of a question mark
makes the title short and snappy. It can portray the
toughness and violence in the gangster genre,
however it doesn’t look quite right as an image and
that’s why I will not use this in my main title.
Where’s Joey
• This title is even more simple and can be used as an
enigma code as audience aren’t clear if it is a
question or a statement. I will consider using this.
Capitals Variety
This is a variety of different ways to use capitals in
my main title for effect.

Text Style I Am Considering
Through my research into different text styles that i could use in my final production, i have narrowed it
down to these choices. I will look deeper into what the audience prefer and which ones will be best suited
for all aspects in my final production.
