Whatever it takes...

You only get one chance at a first impression...unless you change your opening sequence then you have as many chances as you want

Some of my favourite opening sequences...

.

The Killing, a US remake of Danish programme Forbrydelsen (The Crime). Because God knows the Americans can't just watch a programme from a different country. Ignore the fact that there's four, just pay attention to one of them.

.

Game of Thrones, as good as the opening sequence is, it's not even half as good as the programme.

.

The Big Bang Theory. 

.

 How I Met Your Mother, what I like about this is how all the photos used look like photos that you and your friends would actually take on a night out.

Touch My...What?

So we got told our film was too polite, so I tried to make my poster the opposite, turns out you actually CAN have too much of a good thing...

After seeing some of these Exploitation Film posters, I am forever changed ...

When is a porno not a porno? When it's ajar...

3 women get told they have to try to get inside the heads of men to make an Exploitation Film, it sounds like the start of the world's worst chick flick. (FYI. I tried to get the Chick Flick team to swap, they wouldn't.) 
Two weeks later...

The finished product, we filmed it twice, edited it 3 times and laughed far too much, here it is...

Tits a plenty.

Exploitation films A.K.A. How many pairs of tits can we get in a film? 

We got put into pairs (we got a three) and were giving a genre and a story line and were told to make a film. We got exploitation films, they're like pornos, only not as classy.

Baskerville ready? Eurostile ready? Three, two one!

I feel like I've been seriously taking fonts and what not for granted, what I once saw for something that you've got to pick when ever you're forced to do an essay, I now see for what they are, a fucking nightmare. Seriously, baseline, x-height, cap height, ascenders, descenders, counters, well dude I know my shit now.

The two fonts I've been given are, and drum roll please...Baskerville Regular, and Eurostile Bold.

Now starting off on t'old Baskerville designed by John, well Baskerville, in the 18th Century, Baskerville (the man not the font) based his work on the work of engravers. Baskerville (the font this time) was popular for book work in the letter press era. Experiments have shown that text writing in Baskerville is 1.5% more likely to make the reader agree with the phrase.




Now Eurostile, Eurostile was designed by Aldo Novarese in 1962, now I'm 99% sure that fonts don't have feelings, but if they did I'd be a little bit hurt if I was Microgramma, because Eurostile was designed to be a better version of Microgramma, very similar fonts but Eurostile has both upper and lower case letters, whereas Microgramma has only upper case letters.

Eurostile Extended Bold is used for

Baskerville is used for Castleton College in Vermont.
