The top few are fonts that i have found on the internet, depicting a link to 60's iconography and imagery. From research already done, i feel that one of these would fit perfectly with the overall feel of the sequence, however clarity and readability of the text might diminish as a result.
The middle section of font selection has derived from looking at documentary title sequences. They seem to be clear, concise and no frills. This probably has something to do with budget constraints more than anything else. But it also helps deliver a clear message, meaning that you dont need to look at it for very long, normally the type is small, not taking up much of the composition, allowing powerful imagery to be observed without interference from other spurious artefacts.
The last section of simulated handwritten typefaces has also derived from initial research. Stemming from Jim Morrisons poems and the lyrics written down. His handwriting scratchy, italic and often illegible. With Jims poems and writing being one of the main themes of the title sequence, i thought it appropriate to see how such fonts would look in context.
This is also the reason why these styles of fonts could clash and cause discordance. If there is already words to focus on within the frame, unless pronounced enough, the words could be lost to a wash of other visual information.
Trial and error is definitely the order of the day.
