Typography 

According to Kyle Cooper the font of the movie needs to link well with the genre of the movie, for example a horror movie would need to include dark chilling writing to create a frightening atmosphere. If the font doesn't match the genre of the movie it can put off the audience, therefore you wouldn't use bright happy fonts in a horror movie as scary feeling would be lost. The typography should portray the story line, it should not be an afterthought as it is very important for a movie.
