My final idea for my typography video is to respresent the line-up scene from a film called "The Usual Suspects". For those of you unaware of this film there is a link below to allow you to watch the clip for a better idea of what i am aiming to respresent: The Usual Suspects http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hj5vERbLtYI&feature=related I have already came across a program call DVD audio Ripper which allows you to rip the audio from any dvd driect to your pc and this allows you to rip the audio direct from a DVD to your hard drive. I have included a link below which will take you to the site: DVD Audio Ripper http://www.imtoo.com/dvd-audio-ripper.html

In this assignment I’m going to look at different fonts, font styles and where they are used? I am going to be looking into this as I need to make a typography video for my assignment. I looked into several famous quotes & speeches from movies. There are a lot of typography videos available on YouTube an example of a very good one is a typography Pulp Fiction sketch http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=syf8olcM0z4. Typography videos are just simply text and audio in a video, but the text is edited in a certain way to show or portray something.
