Short Film for film brief →
This film is a lot different to the previous one I looked at. I like the way it uses photos to make the film rather than using a video camera. I think the music helps make the film that bit different aswell. I think I prefer this film compared with the last film and it has given me the push to use photographs rather than a video camera.
Film Brief →
For the film brief we were given by Alan I have been researching short art films that may help inspire me as the brief can be anything we want it to be. I like this film but I think if I tried something like this it would be a little too long.
I only have one...
For this brief I decided to research Typography on the internet and to see which modern typefaces I like and dislike. Here are a few examples of the typefaces I do like:
I like this typeface because it has a quirky side to it and it isn’t your typical typeface that everyone will use in day to day life.

Animation →
This clip is what I really liked as it uses a scene from Batman: The Dark Knight with the joker and they have turned it into an animation that uses typography to bring the scene even darker than usual.
Animation in Typography →
For the Animation brief Steve wants us to do I have been researching on youtube the different types of ideas people have had when using typography in animation. I found this short clip very interesting and wanted to create something with this type of effect in my piece.

The short film 'Helvetica'
About the Film Helvetica is a feature-length independent film about typography, graphic design and global visual culture. It looks at the proliferation of one typeface (which celebrated its 50th birthday in 2007) as part of a larger conversation about the way type affects our lives. The film is an exploration of urban spaces in major cities and the type that inhabits them, and a fluid discussion...
Helvetica!!
We were given our first brief today, which includes Typographic Research. We were then asked to watch a short film known as ‘Helvetica’.
I actually found it extremely interesting as I have no previous knowledge of Graphic Design or Typography so I found the film very useful and the information about different typographers will help me with the brief we have been assigned.
