What is typography?

Typography is the style and appearance that a writing is introduced with; for example this paragraph is a type of typography and so is all the other sentences and words on this page. This could involve the size of the lettering, the space between each line or each word exp. 

Examples of opening typography:

In the opening credits of SE7EN the typography could be related to the hand-writing of a younger person as the letters are not correctly placed. It looks rushed, which makes the film seem really fast paced and mysterious. 

In the opening scene of "Hangover" the typography is very basic and serious, this provides the audience with information that the film involves events that is serious. However the title is really funky and may be deceiving as the two types of typography are in contrast to each other. 

Conclusion:

From the information i have learnt about typography I could conclude that typography is really important as it sends the audience information about the film. From understanding information I will use typography appropriate to my genre and narrative; for example it wouldn't be a good idea to use a childish font if my film is about murder.
