Choice of font for text in trailer

In the trailer there are many captions which claim many different peices some being slogans others giving information about the film. I based all the captions on what has been seen in the shot before and then i have captions towards the end of the film telling the audience when the film is going to be released what the name of the film is so that they have all the information they need. For this text i tried many different types of font eventually i cam upon Perpetua titling MT this is a very standard text however has a bit more of an edge than the other fonts have therefore hinting more at the horror genre. Initially i had the font in red as this depicts blood and therefore aims towards the horror genre however my title on my poster and magazine cover is in orange font therefore when i came to piling together the filming and the text i felt that orange font would be the better option as it would relate back to the poster and magazine rather than being alone as away from the ancillary products. However the final peice of text seen states the name of the film "FLASHBACK" and i wanted this to be the same as on the poster and magazine however i found trouble transfering it from photoshop across to the corel video store therefore i created one with the current text whilst i tested trying to get the large masthead across.
