I firstly looked at the title fonts of other films within the social realism genre. I used Easel.ly in order to create this pin board/ collage. All of these texts are quiet bold and are all in capital letters other than the one small case letter in each Adulthood and Kidulthood film as they are part of the same sequence of films. Catfish's text is also effective due to its simplicity and is written in all lower case. All of these fonts are Sans - Serifed and are either white or black or have a pop of colour which links to the films narrative. E.g. the red in "Shank" could foreshadow the blood loss captured throughout the film.
After trying to then further brainstorm to find a final title for my film that will be both suitable and effective, I found that another possible title for my film could be "Invaluable" and this is because it has an identical meaning to "Priceless" which I mentioned in my synopsis post that this was a possible title. Although they are both effective, I think that "Priceless" fits a bit better with my narrative and sounds like it could be the perfect title for my film as it leaves the audience wandering what the story behind it is.
I then used the website Canva in ordert to create this collage of all the possible font types I chose from "Dafont.com". I chose a variety of fonts some are bolder, longer, thinner etc. but I do think that all of these fonts are effective as they stand out and the title is easily readable. My top 3 of these fonts are the third, fourth and sixth one.
For my final title and intertile font I chose to go with Kenteken (above) as it is bold yet has a balance of thickness and is also has an edgy feel to it and is very eye catching. The gaps missing from "P" and "R" could foreshadow the only things the characters want in their life but can't have. The colour of my text will most likely be white, similarly to Fish Tank as it will stand out against the black background that I'd like to have both my title and inter-titles on.
