Font and Music
Fonts
• The films we looked at for inspiration
regarding the fonts used for the titles in a
opening titles sequence were Se7en, Shutter
Island and The Silence of the Lambs. We
wanted our font to resemble the mental states
of the characters, i:e like it had been put
through a lot of anguish in their life.
Jade Fedga
• We used this font for our titles because we
thought it looked really good against the
establishing shots that are in the sequence.
We found this font by going through the presets on Premiere.
Old Press
We used this font for the main title
‘Released’. It had a dirty looking
quality and it looked like it would fit in
our film as the main title’s font.
Music
• For our film we looked at a number of existing film scores for many
different Thriller films e:g Se7en, Silence of the Lambs and Shutter
Island. We narrowed down the ones we liked until we found some
pieces that had a sound or tone that we felt we would well within
the context of our film.
• Howard Shore’s work was something we looked at closely because
he has scored a lot of Thriller films and he can convey a lot of
character and themes from the scores that he writes.
• We were constrained by the music that we were allowed to use.
Obviously we couldn’t use music that had a copyright on it and it
would of taken to long to ask the composer’s permission.
• To avoid this we used a piece of copyright free music called ‘House
of Leaves’ which we found on a website called Incomptech.

• We used the Spring section of this track when
we showed the mental health institution
because we felt it would provide some good
juxtaposition. This kind of music is also played
in these places usually anyway so we felt it
would ground the film a bit more in reality.
Portrait of John Doe- Howard Shore
• This is a track from Se7en’s OST, it conveys a
creepiness, unpleasantness and a sense of
oppression. These were all qualities that we
felt the music in our film needed.

• Again like with his other work, Howard Shore
gets the themes of the film across from the
very first track. This is something that we
wanted to emulate in our film.
