Title Research: Art of the Title

We chose to research two websites to learn more about movie titles. The first website is called Art of the title, and we plan on watching multiple title openings to gain an understanding of the order and design of titles. Specifically, we will be watching movies of our genre, fantasy. If we cannot find any fantasy movie openings, we will look into other similar genres. Art of the title has a bank of movie openings organized in different ways. There’s an all titles, top 10 openings from 2019, and a classics list for us to shuffle through. By watching some of these movie clips, we intend on learning about the nuances of style for titles. For example, how the titles appear on screen. We want to know if they should follow the movement of the actors, or be more flat and steady. Additionally, we want to know how the titles get on screen. Should they fade in, drop in or just appear, and how does this affect the look of the film. Lastly, we must look at the actual design of the titles. How does the font match the genre, and are they good colors. We need to make sure the colors of the titles stands out against the background. We want to keep our film looking high quality, and so we can’t have the designs of our titles looking like a middle schooler created them.
