I have had a look at some title sequences, and while on the most part they use very bland fonts, but some of them have used more interesting fonts, and I was thinking that I could possibly use some different fonts for my Opening Sequence. Making sure that they fit with the genre and film, I can now look for some different fonts than the standard ones found on my laptop.

Now that I have looked at some fonts on www.dafont.com and have picked out a few to consider using for my sequence.
I thought about what might work for my sequence, and I thought that I will need something to suit my genre and film. And I thought that for a graphic novel you would usually use something big and in-your-face; so I had a look on dafont and found a few, looking under the catagories :
Fancy - Eroded
Fancy - Distorted
Fancy - Curly
I found a few that I really liked and have put them on this simple Photoshop image:
I have also made sure that these fonts are free to use, so I can't get caught up in some copyright deal with the owner of the fonts.
The ones that I have selected would all fit under the catagory "Graphic Novel" and so would fit in with my film. At the moment I am not completely sure which one i should use, if not more than one. I was thinking perhaps I could use a different font for each of the characters, so when I introduce them, I can use a font that fits the character, even though I will be introducing the names of the actors not the characters.
