Titles and Typography

Bullet Boy
- The font is distorted which suggests that the narrative is going to be imperfect.
- 'Thousands of guns on our streets', suggests that that it is an urban drama located in working class rough areas.
-'This is the story of one' conveys that its a story about true events that happened across the country everyday.

This Is England
- The titles have a white outline which contrasts with the black background and makes it stand out.
- The titles also suggest that the trailer instead of  theatrical because it indicates the narrative of the film.
- The white outline is also distorted and has a effect which looks like its been ripped out of a newspaper.


Train Spotting
- The titles in this trailer are very basic and the font is different on every title.
- The red and white titles have the same house style as the film poster which makes the theme obvious and the audience are able to recognise it.
- The font style isn't very creative but uses reviews which is a common convention in film trailers.


Shank
- The titles are very bold and the black font contrasts with the vignette background.
- The title, 'The gangs have taken over', takes up most of the shot which suggests that the gangs play a huge part in the production and narrative and that they are the antagonists.
- The sons-serif font shows that the film is modern because a serif font would suggest that it is traditional
and old-fashioned.

Girlhood
- The font is the same throughout the trailer.
- The white font constants with the black background and black and white is a commonly used combination in film trailers.
- 'One of the best coming of age movies', clearly identifies the genre and the possible target audience.
