Font Research and explanation

This font is an old font which is used in various different places because it's classic, bold, stylised but still easy to read. Most fonts that are stylised tend to be harder to read
This font in most cases tends to be aimed at a masculine audience. The only exceptions to this that I've found is the love sign and the circus.
The serifs are quite bold which are carried through all of the different signs which help to distinguish this font apart from others.
I found all of these images on a Google search for Circus, Western, and Tattoo Shop font
This font represents that the film is old style, e.g. set in the past 



This font shows an old style barber shop sign which is aimed at a male audience



This is representative of the old west and is eye-catching and classic
 This represents tattoos which are meant to be stylised and unique
 The circus is supposed to be child-like,fun and playful. This is represented on the sign

pre-production

Pre-Production 
Pre-production is important because it helps you identify the key features of the film such as:

storyboarding is important to get your idea across to the director, the actors, the crew, lighting, cameraman, producer, production company

Without the storyboard the film would be unstructured. It could potentially break the 180 degree rule because they wouldn't have planned the shots

script is very important to instruct storyboarder as to what to do, and for the actors to rehearse their lines
  
In pre-production a location scout needs to research appropriate places. They are one of the first departments to start work on the film because sometimes they fit the film around the location.

The storyboard is a key part of film-making. The earliest storyboards date back to the 1920’s in the early Mickey Mouse animations. They are a representation of what is to come in the film and helps communicate between different departments of film-making and also a good storyboard artists needs to communicate ideas clearly but doesn’t need to be a good artist. Storyboards are  cheap and easy way to edit and cut a film before it’s even been made. It’s also a good way to pitch a film to a production company because it gives a quick and cheap vision of what the film could be.


A storyboard is important because it helps to let everybody know what they are doing, including the actors, the director, the crew, the cameraman, etc.If there’s no storyboard the film would be inconsistent and a jumble of scenes.


colour harmony

Analogous
A base colour on the colour wheel in the middle of two colours around it. Creates low-contrast harmony


Monochromatic
Dark, medium and light contrast of a single base colour

Complement
The direct opposites on the colour wheel creates a diverse colour contrast

Split Complement
An asymmetrical colour split which creates a low contrast design 

Complement/Analogous
This is similar to the Split Complement, it just adds in more colour.

The opposite to Complement/Analogous but a cooler colour harmony
