Audience view of newspaper shot

We asked a few people from our target audience to watch our film as it was. However, when asking them about what they had just watched 2/3 of them were confused about the typing on the screen. One person correctly identified it as a newspaper, but they suggested that we used a different font and size for the title of the newspaper. On the other hand, the other two weren't sure whether he was writing a diary of some sort.

Our media teacher then asked us whether we thought that a diary or a newspaper would be more creepy and show the extent of his obsession. My first thought was that it would be unlikely that someone could keep a diary on a computer, but then I thought about blogs. However, it would be unlikely that our main character would keep a blog of his obsessional thoughts about Mia because then people would see it and be made aware of his obsession before the story line had a chance to develop, so we chose to stick with the newspaper and took the first audience's members views on board. Particularly as you are more likely to be flattered if someone writes a positive newspaper article about you, compared to a diary entry, which most people would find creepy and sinister.
