Titles

For our genre of film, it is very important that the title reflects this genre. Light hearted comedy films normally have light coloured, bubbly font for their title.
Here are some examples from 'Office Space'

Obviously, this style of font isn't going to be used for a horror film, as it simply just doesn't portray the genre.

Here are some examples of titles from non-comedic films. The bold text is simple on the other hand, and arguably could be any genre, but in this case the film is a drama, Trainspotting.

 The simple white text doesn't over complicate the genre, and in this case doesn't give away the genre, up until the end of the opening sequence, this film could have been a comedy.

The font used in this screenshot is from Sweeney Todd, a horror film. The chilling font again that this film probably won't be a comedy, this is supported by the dark colours in the background and contrast with the text.

Here are some more examples from influences we have had. The Other Guys is a wierd example for titles, as the film has a mixed genre of action and comedy. The obvious comedy aspects are more the characters then the title in this scene, and the theme of action is presented through the title.

The next example is from Step Brothers. This is the type of title we are looking to produce, a simple black background with bubbly text. This technique works well in comedy films and portrays the theme well.

Although, this technique is what we will probably use for the simple production screen after our production company intro, and the title of the film may be produced in another way.

We will mock up some examples of our own with different texts and post in it another post.
