When one thinks about the opening scene of their favorite movie or piece of media, the credit sequence is likely not something that comes to mind, let alone the font of it. However, this is very much intentional. If one does not think twice about the credit sequence of a movie, that means the creator did a good job. This is because the credit sequence is all about, as the name subjects, giving credit to those who were involved in making the piece possible. But, the people who made it possible aren't necessarily usually important in terms of building the context of a storyline in a movie, so it is important for it to feel seamless and intuitive with the piece, rather than forced in. One major way that this can be achieved is through simply changing the font in the sequence.
For my portfolio project, It is important that I make the credit sequence achieve the same effect. I decided to look at some opening scenes that match my genre (mystery/action) and I realized that they tend to prefer to keep one consistent font throughout the entire opening scene, something that is a important note I did not really think about before hand. I also realized that allot of these tend to like bold fonts. With all of this taken into consideration I was able to consolidate my options for what font I would like to use for my project. Then, I started to think about what font matched with my project in the most seamless way.
Since my opening scene revolves around a person hacking into a high stakes computer, I ultimately decided that I will make my font as similar to one of traditional hacking or coding as possible or I will be using a very minimalist, modern font to make the font match the very tech focused world my movie would theoretically revolve around. After a prolonged reanalysis of these two options I realized that the first option would be the best at fitting into the overall feel of the opening scene. Bellow I will show the font and color I am most drawn into using so far.
This is the color and font I am most likely to use
