In our film noir we wanted to find the best font for our OTS, at the moment the typography we have is 'Times New Roman' with the style 'Typewriter'. However it doesn't match that of what would be in a real film noir, the letters slowly get typed on the screen rather then quick and dramatic even though in our opening the scenes are quick with each scene being dramatic (eg showing the corpse and blood soaked hands) Each of our names  appear over two scenes,  however only mine, Katherine's and Kristy's names are in the OTS we've yet to add the actors that were involved. We also noticed that the recent text that we added for our names wasn't the same as the text in the middle of our OTS to show time passing.
To fix these problems we first decided to change the typography, but in doing that we came across a problem, the typography we originally picked would still appear even after applying the new typography (Apple Li Gothic medium) , even after asking the teacher we still couldn't figure out the problem. The other problem we found that instead of having the motion 'Typwriter' where the our names came on screen slowly the movement 'Wipe' was chosen. Though we still couldn't use this because the original font that wasn't wanted would still appear.

I did research in fonts and attempted to find different examples used in film noirs, and through looking found this opening from a film noir called 'Crime Wave' from 1954.

 The writing  in the OTS of this film is similar to ours at the moment, the writing is bold and plain white. The writing appears slowly while still being in sync with the background music. However the difference between our OTS and this OTS, is that in this the opening is only of a car driving along and so there isn't any tension building. Whereas ours involves quick sharp scenes with a dramatic story, and so to go with our OTS we will need titles that appear quickly to contribute to tension building.
