Title Analysis

Title analysis

The font used for a films title is important as it should blend with the movies concept,genre and narrative of the film. For our own film we looked and different movies for inspiration towards the final outcome of the course


Machete uses a very Red and dark effect to add to the feel of the film creating a form of tone that is quite dark and bloody, the title also shows the main character standing over the title giving a figure of empowerment over the movie sequence,the film has a very serious tone to it and you can also tell that by looking at the titles imaging


Insidious has a very dark and red fonted title creating a very serious look towards it red is also demonic in relation to the film and its story its a horror film and red has a relation towards it, this film title gives a feel and idea towards the film and what it does to the audience as they anticipate what is going to happen after the title sequence


The Great Gatsby has a very golden and rich look towards the title sequence it seems to be very posh and brand feel towards it,it also gives an idea that the film isn't a very modern based one as the designs around the title as well as the font itself has a very oldish feel towards it but creating the idea of wealth or money by the colours. It gives the audience the idea the film is based within a time period that is not to long ago but quite old like mid 1930's but is  also based round some form of wealth.


as you can see each title has some relation to the movie and its genre like with great Gatsby the type of art decoration it uses is based round the 1920/30's as that was the time the events took place while Machete uses a red base color for the whole title sequence resembling blood as it is quite a gory action movie.Movies always try to follow what the film is doing by adding titles that resembles the idea they want to push towards audience and what film it is.If the font is curly and oink the wouldn't associate it with a horror film the same would go with a kids a kids movie if they were to do the opposite,putting a scary title for a kids film.This is why association with the film and title is a mandatory in order to make the understanding of a film possible
