For the title research portion of my final project, I will be looking at two different websites. The first website I am looking at is Art of the Title. I am looking at this website in order to find conventions for titles of horror/thriller movies. Through researching this site, I will learn about title sequence designs and how they work based on different mediums of film, television, and video games. For my final task, I will have to correctly input the titles for my film. This includes the title the film, actors, production studio, director, and more. I noticed that each film designs its title through font, editing, and color to match the theme of the film. Colors play a part in setting the theme of a movie, and are based off of their genres. A horror movie will include a lot of red, black, and gray while an action movie might include blue, white, and yellow. When it comes to font, it also depends on the genre. If it is a horror movie, the font will be red or gray and may have some sort of dripping effect or have the letters spread out. If it is a romantic movie, the font will be soft, small, and white with some sort of establishing shot as the background or right before. This site has showed me that a lot of times, the titles also reflect the time period from which the film is set in. Also, a lot of films in the past decade or two tend to be shorter, one to three words. While these conventions are not true for all, they are very common.
