Coming up with a Title and a Font

 In this post, i'll be drawing on some issues we were faced with during the making of the project, what we did to fix them and any other changes we made. 

One of the first things we thought about was to make the opening aesthetically pleasing, and this was more easily done with congruent font, and especially when it came to the opening title. We wanted something simple, yet not one-worded. We thought about sound/music and how sound is a shape, it has its ups and downs, and so we matched that to our protagonist's life. As an upcoming musician, he would rise to the top but could also easily fall back down (in this case, his life was torn to shreds). Although we aren't producing the entire film in the meantime, the title can very well describe the entire plot.

Anyways, we came up with the title "It Comes In Waves". I scoured for many websites and found one called 1001 fonts and filtered 344 free fonts out of the 1001. We found some very nice fonts, and some very trashy ones as well. But thats expected when there's so many FREE options to choose from. 

I found one that I thought would look good in our film opening. It's called "Kona". This is what the font looks like before a black canvas.

 Some other fonts I looked at were mainly action and horror oriented, and it was difficult to find a style that fit the drama genre that screamed grandiosity and vulnerability at the same time. There might be changes made in the future, but i'll make sure to update the blog if said changes occur. For now, we think this simplistic, narrow and sharp font style will do its job.
