Post production: deciding typography

For our film opening, we had to find a font that we could use for our credits and the titles of the film. We used the website www.dafont.com as this was a website we had used previously in other projects, so we knew the layout and how to download the fonts once we found them. However when we looking through the different fonts for the credits we couldn't find any that we thought suited the genre, as some where very extravagant and we felt this may detract from the film itself. We designed a questionnaire that asked a focus group to decide on three fonts, and the highest votes was MS PGothic in regular. As a result we used a pre downloaded font on LiveType which was MS PGothic in regular. We chose this one because it was simple, yet the harsh lines of the letters reflected the tone in the film opening.
