Page 1: Investigating film titles

What can be noticed is that many

film titles fade in and out using a

cross dissolve effect over the next

shot, this is something I will apply in

my own film to make it true to form.

The film titles also often link to the

shots, for example this title and then

shot from the film Belle shows the

noun “spring” followed by a

summery spring shot. This is

something I must think about when

creating my film titles.

It can be seen that some of the most

professional looking trailers (in my

opinion) use a white text on a black

background, not only is it clear but I

believe that with my trailer not

being a professional quality product,

applying colours like this could

improve its ‘professional’ image.

It can be recognised that many

fantasy films use backgrounds with a

gradient or stars with magical or

royal colours, this is something I

should consider with my film being a

fantasy drama. However I must also

look at dramas and other aspects to

make a final decision.

Many drama films use a bold text,

usually capitals, I must consider this

when making my own titles. Titles

usually say when the film is coming

out as well as use a range of

adjectives to ‘sell’ the film, from

recognisable names.

Titles also have lots of production

members names towards the end of

the film (pictured left) this is

something I may like to use in my

own trailer. Most, if not all trailers

credit actors names also, I may do

this in my trailer also.
