Typography is how the writing is shown/presented to the audience, typography is is presented through font, style, size, letter case and color.Typography is the opening title for the film. When creating a film, you should pick out a correct one - the font, style, letter case and color should be suitable and fits in the film.
Examples of typography:
Thriller - A picture of a thriller (typography) is shown below, the writing looks like it's scratchy, shaky and smudgy (it's as if a rubber has been used to make it), the way it's presented makes the audience feel scared and uncomfortable, it makes them think if something violent (criminal violence) is going to happen in the film.
Science fiction - Below is a opening title of a film called TRON, it's presented as a abnormal looking letters, as if it came from another world. The title also looks like it came from the future making the audience feel and know it's a futuristic film.
Action Genre - Below is a opening title of film called The Expendables, the style is bold and think as well as big giving an idea to the audience that there's going to be a lot of actions in the film.
Conclusion
In my opening thriller, I want my opening title style to be big but scratchy looking - doing this should make the audience have an unpleasant feeling and uncomfortable.
A good post - nice examples of different styles.
