Opening Titles: Idea 3

 As the genre of our film is Gothic Horror, I thought it interesting to have our opening titles in Gothic Calligraphy (which I am currently undertaking to improve my handwriting.) The picture to the left shows the highest standard of Gothic Calligraphy by my teacher.
Gothic calligraphy styles became dominant throughout Europe, having evolved from the Caroline script in the 11th Century, and in 1454, when Johannes Gutenberg developed the first printing press in Mainz, he adopted the Gothic style for his books, making it the first typeface.


This is an example of some of the work that I have produced. It doesn't quite reach the standard of the writing above, but I believe its effectiveness would remain the same. Gothic writing is characterized by its thick lines, narrow letters and compactness.




Below: The title of our film (R.I.P) and the names of our director, lead actress and camerawoman in simple Round-hand calligraphy. Right: Half of our directors' name. I have yet to lean the letters 'E' and 'N'.
