Problems downloading fonts

For  my website homepage I wanted to use a styled font that fitted my film. Ideally, I wanted something that looked like branches in a wood, as it would fit with the title of my film and create a good logo.
After doing some research, I found fonts I liked on a website called DAFONT.com, I found the font "Words are but Wind" which I thought was a perfect font face for what I wanted. The link to it is here.
To use this font I would have to download it, and this is where I found some problems. I was able to download the font, but to put it in the Font folder to be able to use as a font, I needed a password.

I asked my teacher and the technicians for the password, and it's been about a week now and I haven't had a full answer. It's likely I won't be able to download the font as I can't know the password, however I'll have to ask again if they can just put in the password so it is still private. I only need the password, to download the font. I'm unable to copy the image of the font from the website.

The highlighted area shows I'm unable to copy the image.

This problem has already slowed me down while creating my film website homepage, and if I'm unable to download the font it will mean my logo will not look how I wanted. 



My Zombie Makeup

For my Teaser Trailer, I had to wear makeup to create the Zombie character. 



Below are all the images I took of myself with the Zombie looking makeup applied.

Teaser Trailer Log #3

For my editing today I added the sounds and background music. All these sounds were from uncopyrighted music sites, which are included in more detail in this post, so please click this for more information.
 
Above is a screenshot showing the sounds 
I downloaded which I moved into my files.

Above is a screenshot representing me adding the music into my teaser trailer using Final Cut Pro X. The second picture shows I adjusted the volume of the clip, making the music fade in, at the beginning of the video. The sounds are of an alarm and an eerie background music, by making these both fade in, I believe it will sound more professional and seamless.

Teaser Trailer Log #2



I added in text, which is influenced by the beginning of Pulp Fiction. I though this definition, of "epidemic" would represent the threat of a Zombie epidemic in the film, giving the audience a sense of fear, but wanting to watch on, as they are ''thrill seekers''. Stylistically, I wanted this title screen to look very similar to the one used at the beginning of Pulp Fiction, shown below, which looks just like a dictionary extract.

Teaser Trailer Editing Log #1

To present my editing process on Final Cut Pro for my Teaser Trailer I have decided to post alongside it a "Teaser Trailer Editing Log" to log all my editing progress onto my blog to show as evidence. All my Log posts will be tagged with "#Log" so my progress can be easily located and seen. 

What I did today...

First I imported my clips to Final Cut Pro, then moved the clips in the bottom bar to put them into the order they'll be shown in for the video.

Gossip Magazine Front Cover - 1st draft

To the left is my first creation of my gossip magazine front cover. Overall, it looks very conventional, but it isn't completely finished and there are some small things I could change. I wanted to try creating a front cover before my final, as using Photoshop is not a strong skill of mine. Ideally I would of wanted to use the browser editor, PicMonkey.com, as I'm very comfortable with this website and it's a very professional looking editor, however on some of the school computers the website is blocked. As it was a first draft, using Photoshop was more beneficial as it gave me a better understanding of Photoshop, which in the future will be beneficial for me. After creating this on Photoshop, I feel a lot more comfortable on Photoshop.
This front cover is only missing one thing; a close up picture of me, as the actress in the film I'm creating for my teaser trailer, as the article on the front cover is used to advertise the movie.
