Typography

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, uses a fast pace to display its typography, but without even seeing the typography it immediately draw attention to it, due to the white colour on a black background. The typography itself is wrote in a style of writing that you would associate with tattoos and they all interlink with one another to form a new tattoo. The typography is quite small and it usually situated towards the top right corner on lower left corner but is always seen on screen because it stands out on the black background as it is white. It sometimes just blends in because there is a lot going on around it that you don't quite notice it the writing, because it is slightly too small.I think that the typography has been used quite cleverly as it fits with the genre of the film for being fast paced and reflects the films meaning by having it wrote as if it is in the style of a tattoo.

Doctor Who's typography takes a while for it to be displayed on screen as it mainly focusses on the Tardis, however once they are seen they use the tunnel they are in to find each name. The actual typography doesn't really stand out apart from the fact the writing is so big, the colour of the typography is grey and this makes it blend into the background as they are amongst a storm in title sequence. The typography is kinetic as it moves with the time changing sequence and it immediately connotes with Doctor Who as you can associate the letter 'I'  with a Tardis at the end. The sequence for Doctor Who uses typography very well to portray their show of a sci-fi/ action television programme.

You can see how the writing is in style to look
like a tattoo that is fading or just being
created.
You can see how the dark colours make it slightly harder to
see as it looks like they are trying to blend in.
