To start with, we decided to use the above font for our film title and this font would appear both in the film and on the film poster. However, when working with this font in Adobe Photoshop, it was very difficult to seperate the font from the white background and this was a problem we encountered when trying to intergrate this font onto our film poster. So we decided to take this font and modify it so that it is easier to work with in photoshop and also to try and improve it so that it stands out on our poster. To achieve this i took the font and placed it in Adobe Illustrator and here we decided to image trace the font and then expand it so that it gives a more defined edge top the text and also makes it a lot more solid so that we can easily change the colour of the font and give it a transparent background so that it can easily be transfered into Photoshop.
The image above shows the font after it was modified in Illustrator and this will appear in both our film and our poster. Even thoough the final font is a little more defined and solid than the original, we still managed to maintain the horror-like 'scratchiness' of the original and this works well with our poster design.
